I've geen googling for 3 days now, and cannot find out how to do this.
I'm trying to use OpenOffice 2.0 and UNO to generate PDF documents. I'm
using windows, but will have to make it work under Linux for production.
I've been able to set the parameters and call the exportToPdf method, but
the exported file is not PDF but an .odt document, I can change suffix from
pdf to odt and double click on it and open it as openoffice. The project is
sort of a custom mail-merge, but there is little data used to produce a
lengthy contract and attachments. The whole thing needs to be done via a
cgi script or a servlet.
below is a java code snippet, submitted with apologies, I'm using that
rather than python because I found better examples and my java IDE helps me
out. I originally started out to do python, and will eventually shift back
to it once I get this working
public void writePDF(XTextD ocument doc, String stringUrl) {
String stringConvertTy pe ="PDF Creator";// args[ 1 ];
PropertyValue propertyvalueHi dden[] = new PropertyValue[ 0 ];
XStorable xstorable =( XStorable ) UnoRuntime.quer yInterface(
XStorable.class , doc );
// Preparing properties for converting the document
PropertyValue propertyvalue[] = new PropertyValue[ 2 ];
propertyvalue[ 0 ] = new PropertyValue() ;
propertyvalue[ 0 ].Name = "Overwrite" ;
propertyvalue[ 0 ].Value = new Boolean(true);
propertyvalue[ 1 ] = new PropertyValue() ;
propertyvalue[ 1 ].Name = "Filter";
propertyvalue[ 1 ].Value = "writer_pdf_Exp ort";
//propertyvalue[ 1 ].Value = "impress_pdf_Ex port"; //also tried
"PDF Creator"
xstorable.store ToURL( stringUrl+".pdf ", propertyvalue ); //also
tried storeAsUrl, same result

Have you tried the ooextract.py found on: http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html
Here work well and generate a pdf file.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect excel or openoffice via

Also, if that is possible does either OpenOffice or Excel support SQL

Hi everyone,
during our development, we need to write some unit tests that interact
with OpenOffice through pyUno.
Is there anyone who has got any experience on it? As OpenOffice is
quite a large beast, and interaction is rather complex, I would like
to know if there is someone who is willing to share experience (and,
possibly, code).

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
