doc and docx documents do not have header and footer data

[sxj2024]

When reading Office documents, I can't extract the headers and footers. Is this configurable, or is there an interface that can achieve this?

This is a configuration parameter. See the programming guide.

I'm using the C language SDK, but I haven't found any related settings. Is there a documentation link

[brian-cowe-mf]

Yes, and the equivalent parameter is available in C. See the programming guide for C. We support C, C++, Java, .NET and Python, and all of the programming guides can be found here.

I carefully checked the C API documentation link you provided, but I can't access it. Could you check if the address has a problem? Also, does the C SDK prior to version 24.4 not support extracting header and footer data from documents? Additionally, if I want to implement a new parser myself, is there a complete tutorial available? Thank you for your help!

[brian-cowe-mf]

Ah sorry, I have now corrected the deep link. The parameter you need is KVF_HEADERFOOTER. The link for the complete set of guides is correct.

If you're looking to detect or filter a currently undetected or unfilterable format, the first port of call would be to discuss it with the technical support team by raising a support ticket. There may already be upcoming plans in place to implement it, or this might be the additional customer request that gets what you need prioritised.
