Powerful capabilities with free/open docx4j.
Docx4j Enterprise for additional features and support.
Plutext created/released as open source the first version of docx4j more than 10 years ago, and has sponsored the docx4j project ever since. See the docx4j GitHub repo
Docx4j is the only SDK for working with Office documents in Java which leverages the power and convenience of JAXB to give you full access to all features of the file formats. (In comparison, Apache POI uses XML Beans, and Aspose is restricted to a limited API of its own)
Docx4j Enterprise Edition helps you deliver robust document solutions by leveraging docx4j with dedicated support, and additional features:
for joining/concatenating docx files to make a single docx without loss of formatting. Try it here.
for creating a single pptx from slides in multiple source pptx. Try it here.
for linking or embedding objects (eg a PDF) in docx/pptx/xlsx files
for signing or verifying a digital signature in a docx/pptx/xlsx file
