Example

Python

import os
import docbuilder

builder = docbuilder.CDocBuilder()
builder.CreateFile("docx")

dstPath = os.getcwd() + "/result.docx"
builder.SaveFile("docx", dstPath)
builder.CloseFile()

C++

std::wstring sWorkDirectory = NSUtils::GetBuilderDirectory();
CDocBuilder::Initialize(sWorkDirectory.c_str());
CDocBuilder oBuilder;
oBuilder.CreateFile(OFFICESTUDIO_FILE_DOCUMENT_DOCX);
CDocBuilder::Dispose();

COM

CoInitialize(NULL);
IONLYOFFICEDocBuilder* oBuilder = NULL;
VARIANT_BOOL b;
oBuilder->Initialize();
oBuilder->CreateFile(_bstr_t("docx"), &b);
oBuilder->Dispose();

Java

CDocBuilder.initialize("");
CDocBuilder builder = new CDocBuilder();
builder.createFile(FileTypes.Document.DOCX);
CDocBuilder.dispose();

.Net

string workDirectory = "C:/Program Files/ONLYOFFICE/documentBuilder";
CDocBuilder.Initialize(workDirectory);
CDocBuilder oBuilder = new CDocBuilder();
var doctype = (int)OfficeFileTypes.Document.DOCX;
oBuilder.CreateFile(doctype);
