How to replace a logo with text and another image with different text in a Word document

4 mins read

Syncfusion Essential DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can replace a logo with text and another image with different text in a Word document using C#.

To achieve this, follow the steps below:

  • Get the logo image stream for comparison with images in the Word document.
  • Find all pictures in the Word document.
  • Get the index of each picture.
  • Remove the picture from the document.
  • If the picture is the logo image, add specific text at that location.
  • For all other pictures, add different specific text at that location.

Steps to replace a logo with text and another image with different text in a Word document:

  1. Create a new .NET Core console application project. Create console application in Visual Studio
  2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
    Add DocIO NuGet package reference to the project

Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, include a license key in your projects. Refer to the link to learn about generating and registering a Syncfusion license key in your application to use the components without trail message.

  1. Include the following namespaces in Program.cs file
    C#
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
  1. Use the following code example to replace a logo with text and another image with different text in a Word document.
    C#
using (FileStream fileStreamPath = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Input.docx"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
   //Open an existing Word document.
   using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(fileStreamPath, FormatType.Automatic))
   {
       //Open the logo image stream to compare with existing images in the document.
       FileStream logoImageStream = new FileStream(@"Data/LogoImage.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
       //Find all pictures in the Word document by their EntityType
       List<Entity> pictures = document.FindAllItemsByProperty(EntityType.Picture, null, null);
       //Iterate through each picture found in the document.
       foreach (WPicture picture in pictures)
       {
           WParagraph ownerParagraph = picture.OwnerParagraph;
           //Find the index of picture in the owner paragraph.
           int index = ownerParagraph.ChildEntities.IndexOf(picture);
           //Remove the picture from its owner paragraph.
           ownerParagraph.ChildEntities.Remove(picture);
           //Create a new text range for inserting text.
           WTextRange textRange = new WTextRange(document);
           //Check if the current picture's image byte length matches the logo image's length.
           if (picture.ImageBytes.Length == logoImageStream.Length)
               //Replace the logo image with the text "< Logo image here >".
               textRange.Text = "< Logo image here >";
           else
               //Replace other images with the text "< Product image here >".
               textRange.Text = "< Product image here >";
           //Insert the newly created text range at the index of the removed picture.
           ownerParagraph.ChildEntities.Insert(index, textRange);
       }
       //Create file stream.
       using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Output.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
       {
           //Save the Word document to file stream.
           document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
       }
   }
}
