Do you know what basic information MUST include a paragraph (<w:p/>
) in document.xml inside a *.docx document, that specifies an image? I do know there must be:
<a:blip r:embed="rId4" />
specifing the relationship id, but what else? It's very hard to find it in Google and experimenting with cutting out tags from a ready document or reading the specification takes a lot of time.
An example with all the required tags would be greatly appreciated.
Word is rather picky concerning the input XML provided. To embed an image, you have to provide quite some information. Here is a simple example:
document.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<w:document xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:wp="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/wordprocessingDrawing"
xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main">
<w:body>
<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline distT="0" distB="0" distL="0" distR="0">
<wp:extent cx="5943600" cy="3717290"/>
<wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 0" descr="vlcsnap-325726.png"/>
<a:graphic xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
<a:graphicData uri="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:pic xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:nvPicPr>
<pic:cNvPr id="0" name="myImage.png"/>
<pic:cNvPicPr/>
</pic:nvPicPr>
<pic:blipFill>
<a:blip r:embed="rId4"/>
<a:stretch>
<a:fillRect/>
</a:stretch>
</pic:blipFill>
<pic:spPr>
<a:xfrm>
<a:off x="0" y="0"/>
<a:ext cx="5943600" cy="3717290"/>
</a:xfrm>
<a:prstGeom prst="rect">
<a:avLst/>
</a:prstGeom>
</pic:spPr>
</pic:pic>
</a:graphicData>
</a:graphic>
</wp:inline>
</w:drawing>
</w:r>
</w:p>
</w:body>
</w:document>
document.xml.rels
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Relationships xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships">
<!-- other relationships go here -->
<Relationship Id="rId4" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="media/image1.png"/>
</Relationships>
And of course the image must be added to the package at the correct location (media/image1.png)
Since all this is rather complicated I would recommend you to use the OpenXML SDK 2.0 provided by Microsoft or another library, e.g. OpenXML4J. These libraries, especially the one from Microsoft can make your work a lot easier.
