Thank you. It works. I think it was just because I made a mistake with the string of path. it should be "newfolder/hello.pdf" rather than "newfolder\hello.pdf"

Update of a existing document should work with:

ivy.wf.documents().get(new Path("/test")).write().withContentFrom(in.file);

I agree that the update methods are missing. However you get an existing document with the workflowDocument API and update it with the ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects.File api:

private static void update(IDocument document) throws IOException {
    Path path = document.getPath();
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects.File myFile = 
            new ch.ivyteam.ivy.scripting.objects.File(path.toString());
    myFile.write("new content "+new Date());
}
