    Hi

    iam using phpdocx-premium-12.5. i need to extract data as plain text from the header/footer.

    iam able to get document data as text from document using

    \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocx::DOCX2TXT(..)

     

    but i need to do the same get plain text with the header footer not only the document. i want to get all data of the document as plained text without tags.
     
    Thanks

    Hello,

    You can use Indexer and getWordContents to extract contents and information from a DOCX

    Thanks,

    i use it like this to get text like the one i get it from the body

    $docx = new \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocxFromTemplate($documentPath);
$headerText = implode(' ', $docx->getWordContents(['target' => 'header']));

    i get the data, is that correct?

    Hello,

    About your question, each method is focused on specific tasks and may not return the same exact outputs:

    • DOCX2TXT doesn't extract headers and footers contents. If you are interested on a custom development for this specific task, do not hesitate to contact us at contact[at]phpdocx.com
    • getWordContents is focused on extracting specific contents using DOCXPath queries.
    • Indexer extracts information and also text contents.

    We recommend you check the samples included in the package, that details how to use each method and you can use the method that best suits your needs.

    Regards.
