Image and Shape (7)
Stamps can guarantee the authenticity and validity of a document and also make the document look more professional. Since Microsoft Word doesn't provide a built-in stamp feature, you can add an image to your Word documents to mimic the stamp effect. This is useful when the document will be printed to paper or PDF. In this article, you will learn how to add a "stamp" to a Word document using Spire.Doc for Java.
Install Spire.Doc for Java
First of all, you're required to add the Spire.Doc.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Word documents often contain images, which are useful elements to enhance the aesthetics of the document. If the overall design of the document changes, the existing images might no longer match the new style. Replacing them with updated images can help maintain a consistent look. In this article, you will learn how to replace images in Word in Java using Spire.Doc for Java.

Replace Images with New Images in Word in Java
To replace an image in a Word document with another image, you need to loop through the elements of the document, find the images and add them to a list, then get the image that you want to replace from the list and call the DocPicture.loadImage() method to replace it with the loaded image. The following are the detailed steps.
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Create an ArrayList instance.
- Iterate through all sections in the document.
- Iterate through all paragraphs in each section.
- Iterate through all child objects in each paragraph.
- Find the images and add them to the list.
- Get a specific image from the list and replace it with another image using DocPicture.loadImage() method.
- Save the result document using Document.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ReplaceImages {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.loadFromFile("E:\\PythonDoc\\WordImage.docx");
//Create an ArrayList instance
ArrayList<DocumentObject> pictures = new ArrayList();
//Iterate through all sections in the document
for (Section sec : (Iterable<Section>) doc.getSections()
) {
//Iterate through all paragraphs in each section
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) sec.getParagraphs()
) {
//Iterate through all child objects in each paragraph
for (DocumentObject obj : (Iterable<DocumentObject>) para.getChildObjects()
) {
//Find the images and add them to the list
if (obj.getDocumentObjectType() == DocumentObjectType.Picture) {
pictures.add(obj);
}
}
}
}
//Replace the first picture in the list with a new image
DocPicture picture = (DocPicture)pictures.get(0) ;
picture.loadImage("pic.png");
//Save the result document
doc.saveToFile("ReplaceWithNewImage.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
Replace Image with Text in Word in Java
Spire.Doc for Java doesn't provide a direct method to replace image with text, but you can achieve this task by inserting the text at the image location and then removing the image from the document.
The following steps demonstrate how to replace all images in a Word document with text:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Create an ArrayList instance.
- Iterate through all sections in the document.
- Iterate through all paragraphs in each section.
- Iterate through all child objects in each paragraph.
- Find the images and add them to the list.
- Iterate through the images in the list.
- Get the index of the image in the paragraph using Paragraph.getChildObjects().indexOf() method.
- Create a TextRange instance and set text for the text range through TextRange.setText() method.
- Insert the text range at the image location using Paragraph.getChildObjects().insert() method.
- Remove the image from the paragraph using Paragraph.getChildObjects().remove() method.
- Save the result document using Document.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class replaceImageWithText {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.loadFromFile("WordImage.docx");
//Create an ArrayList instance
ArrayList<DocumentObject> pictures = new ArrayList();
int j = 1;
//Iterate through all sections in the document
for (Section sec : (Iterable<Section>) doc.getSections()
) {
//Iterate through all paragraphs in each section
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) sec.getParagraphs()
) {
//Iterate through all child objects in each paragraph
for (DocumentObject obj : (Iterable<DocumentObject>) para.getChildObjects()
) {
//Find the images and add them to the list
if (obj.getDocumentObjectType() == DocumentObjectType.Picture) {
pictures.add(obj);
}
}
//Iterate through all images in the list and replace them with text "Here was image {image index}"
for (DocumentObject pic : pictures)
{
int index = para.getChildObjects().indexOf(pic);
TextRange range = new TextRange(doc);
range.setText(String.format("Here was image-%d", j));
para.getChildObjects().insert(index, range);
para.getChildObjects().remove(pic);
j++;
}
}
}
//Save the result document
doc.saveToFile("ReplaceImageWithText.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}

Insert WordArt in Word
The ShapeType enumeration provided by Spire.Doc for Java defines a variety of WordArt shape types whose names begin with "Text". In order to create a WordArt in Word, you need to initialize an instance of ShapeObject and specify the WordArt type and text content. The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Add a section to the document using Document.addSection() method, and then add a paragraph to the section using Section.addParagraph() method.
- Append a shape to the paragraph and specify the shape size and type using Paragraph.appendShape(float width, float height, ShapeType shapeType) method.
- Set the position of the shape using ShapeObject.setVerticalPosition() and ShapeObject.setHorizontalPosition() methods.
- Set the text of WordArt using ShapeObject.getWordArt().setText() method.
- Set the fill color and stroke color of WordArt using ShapeObject.setFillColor() and ShapeObject.setStrokeColor() methods.
- Save the document to another file using Document.saveToFile() method.

import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.ShapeObject;
import java.awt.*;
public class WordArt{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Add a section
Section section = doc.addSection();
//Add a paragraph.
Paragraph paragraph = section.addParagraph();
//Add a shape to the paragraph and specify the shape size and type
ShapeObject shape = paragraph.appendShape(400, 150, ShapeType.Text_Deflate_Bottom);
//Set the position of the shape
shape.setVerticalPosition(60);
shape.setHorizontalPosition(60);
//set the text of WordArt
shape.getWordArt().setText("Create WordArt in Word");
// Set the fill color and stroke color of WordArt
shape.setFillColor(Color.CYAN);
shape.setStrokeColor(Color.BLUE);
//save the document to file.
doc.saveToFile("WordArt.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2013);
