Validate document

The following example shows you how to check a document for the problems that make it unusable or non-conforming before you save it. The validate method returns a list of ValidationError objects, each with the message and the location of the problem in the object model. An empty list means nothing known is wrong.

import java.util.List;

import com.independentsoft.office.ValidationError;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument("c:\\test\\input.docx");

            List<ValidationError> problems = doc.validate();

            if (problems.isEmpty())
            {
                System.out.println("No problems found.");
            }
            else
            {
                for (ValidationError problem : problems)
                {
                    System.out.println(problem.getLocation() + ": " + problem.getMessage());
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
