This repository contains examples that illustrates how to find and replace text in Word documents programmatically in Java using Syncfusion’s Java Word library (Essential DocIO) without Microsoft Word or Office interop dependencies.
The Syncfusion Java Word library (Essential DocIO) provides comprehensive APIs to find and replace text in a Word document with any desired text, image, hyperlink, paragraph, table, and part of a document or an entire document. It provides options to find text by matching case and whole words. You can find each occurrence one by one or all the occurrences of a text in the document. It saves your efforts and time by helping you to automate find and replace a pattern of text in a Word document using Regex. It allows you to save the resultant document as Word document (DOCX, WordML), HTML, RTF.
You can download the jars from the Syncfusion maven repository to use our artifacts in your projects. It helps you to use the Syncfusion Java packages without installing Essential Studio or platform installation to development with Syncfusion controls.
