Automaticaly update Word document header with version

[kinunt]

Hi,

Is this possible with Alfresco? I have docx Word documents that have their version inside the document, in the header. I would like to know if is it possible that Alfresco updates the version of the document each time this document is modified and uploaded to Alfresco.

Hi,
Yes, it is possible.  You will have to listen to "onContentUpdate", watch for mimetypes of interest and then make whatever changes you require either directly to the existing content binary (assuming you understand the concurrency implications) or by writing a new binary.

Hi, there is an Alfresco addon for that purpose. Have a look at http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/metadatawriter/
It updates custom properties, from the properties you would have to force update a linked field in the word document.
