Hyperlinks usually appear on texts. By clicking on a hyperlink, we can access a website, a document, an email address, or other elements. Some Word documents, especially those that are generated from web content, may contain irritating hyperlinks, such as advertisements. This article shows you how to programmatically remove one hyperlink or all hyperlinks in a Word document using Spire.Doc for Java.
Install Spire.Doc for Java
First, 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.

Remove a Specified Hyperlink in a Word Document
The detailed steps to remove a specified hyperlink in a Word file are as follows:
- Create a Document object and load a Word document from disk using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Find all the hyperlinks using custom method FindAllHyperlinks().
- Flatten the first hyperlink using custom method FlattenHyperlinks().
- Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Remove All the Hyperlinks in a Word Document
The detailed steps to remove all the hyperlinks in a Word file are as follows:
- Create a Document object and load a Word document from disk using Document.loadFromFile() method.

The emphasis mark is used in Word documents to emphasize words and make them more noticeable. It is usually a dot or a circle placed above or under the emphasized words. However, manually selecting words and applying emphasis marks on them takes a lot of work. Fortunately, Spire.Doc for .NET provides a much easier way to apply emphasis marks by codes. This article will show you how to apply emphasis marks to text in Word documents using Spire.Doc for .NET.
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Apply Emphasis Mark to Specified Text
The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load the Word document from disk using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Find the text you need to emphasize using Document.FindAllString() method.
- Apply emphasis mark to the found text through CharacterFormat.EmphasisMark property.
- Save the document to another Word file using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using System;
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
namespace applyemphasismark
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load the Word document from disk
document.LoadFromFile(@"D:\testp\test.docx");
//Find text you want to emphasize
TextSelection[] textSelections = document.FindAllString("Spire.Doc for .NET", false, true);
//Apply emphasis mark to the found text
foreach (TextSelection selection in textSelections)
{
selection.GetAsOneRange().CharacterFormat.EmphasisMark = Emphasis.Dot;
}
//Save the document to another Word file
string output = "ApllyEmphasisMark.docx";
document.SaveToFile(output, FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}

When you are drawing text into a PDF, you may need to define colorful brushes or pens in order to make the page more vivid. This article shows how to set the text string’s color space in a PDF document using Spire.PDF for Java.
Install Spire.PDF for Java
First, you need to add the Spire.Pdf.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 by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Set the Font Color for the Text String on PDF
Spire.PDF for Java offers PdfSolidBrush class to set the brush color for the text. It supports to define the brush color based on a particular RGB color space or a HTML color code.
- Create a PdfDocument object.
- Add a new page in the PDF using PdfDocument.getPages().add() method.
- Create a PdfSolidBrush object based on a particular RGB color space or a HTML color code.
- Create an object of PdfTrueTypeFont to set the font name, size and style.
- Draw text on the page at the specified location using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawString() method.
- Save the document to another PDF using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageBase;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfRGBColor;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfSolidBrush;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfTrueTypeFont;
import java.awt.*;
public class pdfBrush {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a PdfDocument object
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page
PdfPageBase page = doc.getPages().add();
//Set the location
float y = 30;
//Create solid brush object and define the color
PdfRGBColor rgb1 = new PdfRGBColor(Color.green);
PdfSolidBrush brush1 = new PdfSolidBrush(rgb1);
//RGB Color
PdfRGBColor rgb2 = new PdfRGBColor(0,197,205);
PdfSolidBrush brush2 = new PdfSolidBrush(rgb2);
//HTML code color
Color color = Color.decode("#A52A2A");
PdfSolidBrush brush3 = new PdfSolidBrush(new PdfRGBColor(color));
//Create true type font object
Font font = new Font("Arial", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 14);
PdfTrueTypeFont trueTypeFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(font);
//Draw text
page.getCanvas().drawString("Set the text color with brush", trueTypeFont, brush1, 0, (y = y + 30f));
page.getCanvas().drawString("Set the text color with RGB", trueTypeFont, brush2, 0, (y = y + 50f));
page.getCanvas().drawString("Set the text color with HTML code color", trueTypeFont, brush3, 0, (y = y + 60f));
//Save to file
doc.saveToFile("output/CreatePdf.pdf");
}
}
