Programming with Document Object Model

API enables C++ applications to automate Microsoft Word file creation as well as open and modify files including formatting with an intuitive document object model that mimics Microsoft Word in terminology & features. C++ developers can dynamically create, modify, extract and replace all elements including sections, paragraphs, tables, bookmarks, fields, form fields, comments, images, styles and so on.

Convert a Document in C++

Convert a file from one supported format to another with just two lines of code. It is so simple!

Convert Word to PDF using C++, e.g. DOCX to PDF – C++


// Load the document from disk.
System::SharedPtr doc = System::MakeObject(inputDataDir + u"Rendering.doc");

System::String outputPath = outputDataDir + u"Doc2Pdf.SaveDoc2Pdf.pdf";
// Save the document in PDF format.
doc->Save(outputPath);

Join or Append Documents in C++

Aspose.Words for C++ supports joining & appending multiple files into one. This process is very simple as well as configurable, providing the means to control how the files are joined. C++ Word processing library also allows resetting the page numbering after joining the documents.

Merge two files – C++


// Load source and destination files.
auto dstDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(dir + u"destination.doc");
auto srcDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(dir + u"source.doc");

// Set the appended file to start on a new page.
srcDoc->get_FirstSection()->get_PageSetup()->set_SectionStart(SectionStart::NewPage); 

// Append the source file using the original styles found in the source file.
dstDoc->AppendDocument(srcDoc, ImportFormatMode::KeepSourceFormatting); 

// Save the result.
dstDoc->Save(dir + u"output.doc);

Use Document Protection in C++

Aspose.Words for C++ offers the facility to protect & un-protect documents with single line of code. You may set the protection in a way that the user can make only limited changes, such as adding annotations, making revisions or completing a form.

Protect and unprotect files – C++


// Load a document to be processed.
auto wrdoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(dir + u"template.doc");

// Protect the file.
wrdoc->Protect(ProtectionType::AllowOnlyFormFields, u"password");

// Unprotect the file.
wrdoc->Unprotect();
