How to split a single Word DOCX into Separate Documents by Page in Java

Splitting documents programmatically is Java is chore of epic proportions. If you have ever tried parsing a DOCX file, then you know what I am talking about. If you would rather not spend the rest of your weeks dealing with the problem, then I have just the solution for you. We will use an API library that can get this done for us in no time at all.

First we need a respository reference for Jitpack.

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Next comes our dependency for our client.

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.Cloudmersive</groupId>
    <artifactId>Cloudmersive.APIClient.Java</artifactId>
    <version>v3.54</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

And lastly, our function call.

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.SplitDocumentApi;
ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");
SplitDocumentApi apiInstance = new SplitDocumentApi();
File inputFile = new File("/path/to/file"); // File | Input file to perform the operation on.
Boolean returnDocumentContents = true; // Boolean | Set to true to return the contents of each Worksheet directly, set to false to only return URLs to each resulting document.  Default is true.
try {
SplitDocxDocumentResult result = apiInstance.splitDocumentDocx(inputFile, returnDocumentContents);
System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
System.err.println("Exception when calling SplitDocumentApi#splitDocumentDocx");
e.printStackTrace();
}

Done! Talk about easy.
