Create New Document in Apache POI and Aspose.Words

Aspose.Words - Create New Document

Call the Document constructor without parameters to create a new blank document.

If you want to generate a document programmatically, the most reasonable step after creation is to use DocumentBuilder to add document contents.

Java

// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(AsposeNewDocument.class);

Document doc = new Document();

// DocumentBuilder provides members to easily add content to a document.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Write a new paragraph in the document with some text as "Sample Content..."
builder.setBold(true);

builder.writeln("Aspose Sample Content for Word file.");

// Save the document in DOCX format. The format to save as is inferred from the extension of the file name.
// Aspose.Words supports saving any document in many more formats.
doc.save(dataDir + "Aspose_NewDoc.docx",SaveFormat.DOCX);

Apache POI HWPF XWPF - Create New Document

The code example given below shows how to create a new document using Apache POI XWPF.

Java

// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(ApacheNewDocument.class);

XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
XWPFParagraph tmpParagraph = document.createParagraph();
XWPFRun tmpRun = tmpParagraph.createRun();
tmpRun.setText("Apache Sample Content for Word file.");
tmpRun.setFontSize(18);

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dataDir + "Apache_newWordDoc.doc");
document.write(fos);
fos.close();
