I have a word document with many content controls. How can I export the content of content control into another word document?
I'm using C# and open xml sdk.
Regards.
Here are two great articles that will show you how to do this:

Content Controls in Word 2007

Data and Content Extraction from
Open XML WordprocessingML
Documents
content controls are not bound to CustomXMLParts. I'm using Altchunck to merge multiple docx files into one document. Each docx file is inserted within a content control.The merged document is opened in a winforms application using DSOFramer. I want to update the source docx file when the content control content is modified.

Is there any way I could insert another document?
In VSTO-there is an option to insert document with InsertFile.Looking for something similar here.
The Office JS APIs do not provide an option for inserting a file.
What would be possible is to get the Word Open XML of a file, convert it to the OPC flat file format, then insert that using one of the ooxml methods available.
I'm in the process of exploring the possibilities of Word VSTO add-in. Using a combination of custom task pane(s), a custom ribbon and a series of dialog boxes or forms I can collection information from the user. However, what I can figure out is where I can persist this information within the document. A docx is made of a series of individual files, how do I add my file within the cab as well? Storing the custom info outside of the document is not an option, it must travel with the document itself.
Thanks,
Update : If I use custom xml parts per the solution mentioned here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb608612.aspx then it appears to me that the xml data is visible to the user. See screen shot. The user should not be able to browse data that my add-in is storeing - not because it's senstitive but because it makes no sense for them to see and interact with a bunch of serialized class data.
You can store your custom information inside the document using so called Custom XML Parts. This information is stored within the document.
Here is an example how to add a Custom XML Part to your document:

I have a requirement to read a pdf file having tabular format data only like in excel file. I need to extract the cell value of given pdf file.
Is it be anyhow possible using itext API. If you have something to share then please share it or any other solutions?
The PDF format is just a canvas where text and graphics are placed without any structure information. As such there aren't any iText-objects in a PDF file. In each page there will probably be a number of Strings, but you can't reconstruct a phrase or a paragraph using these strings. There are probably a number of lines drawn, but you can't retrieve a Table-object based on these lines.
In short: parsing the content of a PDF-file is NOT POSSIBLE with iText.
You can try this! This lets you read PDF pages.
I recently ran into this problem. I wasn't able to make it work with itext.
An alternate solution I found was to open a PDF document in Adobe and export it to xml. At least with my PDF's it preserved the table information and then I was able to programmatically work with the XML to generate tabular files like excel etc.
The other issue I ran into was that Adobe only lets you export one file at a time and I had lots of files. Luckily Adobe also has a merge function. I ended up merging all the files together and then exporting them as one big XML file and working with that file to generate what I needed.
I've an application that automatically fills MS Word templates (.dotx) written using COM and Word object model. There are some Bookmarks in the template, that are filled programmatically.
Now I'm migrating to OpenXML.
Could you please explain me what should I prefer using OpenXML - Bookmarks or Content Controls and why?
WordDocumentGenerator is an utility to generate Word documents from templates using Visual Studio 2010 and Open XML 2.0 SDK. The code is available for download at http://worddocgenerator.codeplex.com/. Content controls are used in templates. A lot of samples are provided for document generation which will show how functional and flexible content controls are.
Content controls are significantly more resistant to overwriting during document editing. You can use either one with OpenXML without additional complications.
I am creating a Word document template, I would like users who use this form to also be able to manage an attached file. The template is written with Microsoft Word 2000. Is there a way to create a part of the template that can be used to manage such an attachment?
I solved the problem by dragging the file I wanted to attach directly into the Word document.
