 |
|
Hey all,
I am looking for a way to create .pdf's from MS Office .doc's, , all through the command line. Doesn't matter which platform I am on-- just looking for a way to make OO a .pdf creator.
Thoughts?
Thanks, /c |

Looking at the command line options in the help index, it doesn't look like you can do much with the command line, except:
If you want to learn the API, you might be able to do what you want. I haven't tried this but the API forum seems busy.

Check out www.fineprint.com for their PDF Factory. I use it constantly. Their flagship program "Fineprint" isn't too shabby either.

cameron,
download the openoffice sd. Look into examples--> java-->....
find DocumentConverter.java file
run the documentconverter first to convert all the *.doc -->*.sxw
example (running in DOS prompt)
start openoffice at port 8100
then run the following bat file
replace DocumentSaver with DocumentConverter and the argument is the directory
containing the *.doc. I will recursively go through the directory and convert all
the *.doc to *.sxw. Once it is done, do the run another bat file to convert all the *.sxw
--> pdf
All you have to do is to copy and paste DocumentConverter to PdfConverter and
make some minor changes to the program as described briefly
make sure change extension from .sxw to .pdf
good luck
/PdfCconverter example
| Code: |
static String stringConvertType = "writer_pdf_Export";
static String stringExtension = "pdf";
..............
propertyvalue[ 0 ] = new PropertyValue();
propertyvalue[ 0 ].Name = "FilterName";
propertyvalue[0].Value = "writer_pdf_Export";
//new modification here
propertyvalue[1] = new PropertyValue();
propertyvalue[1].Name = "CompressionMode";
propertyvalue[1].Value = "1";
|
//bat file example
| Code: |
java -classpath .;./bin;"C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/classes/jurt.jar;C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/classes/ridl.jar;C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/classes/sandbox.jar;C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/classes/unoil.jar;C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/classes/juh.jar" DocumentSaver uno:socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager file:///C:/java_apps/testopenoffice/test/BPI-1.sxw file:///C:/java_apps/testopenoffice/BPI-1.doc

This question has been answered....
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3772
Solution in a nutshell...
Put a small macro into the soffice.
Call soffice.exe from command line, passing a specially formed URL that activates the macro.
The URL contains a parameter, which is the name of the document to convert.
The macro gets the parameter, opens it, saves it in the new format.

hi!
thanks a lot for ur post, it runs fine on me, but is there other way of running the class with just the jar files included? i mean without running openoffice? doesn't the code runs using those library jar files? Im just thinking if I could load the jar files on our dtabase, thank you so much!

I packaged a working set of macros, install routines, and a command line frontend for anything to PDF in to anytopdf.
Hopefully this will make things easier 
It uses macros instead of the '-p' print option and a PDF printer, since I was unable to get the latter to work with calc (needed for excel files). |

If you also meant, "any platform" then on Mac OS X, you can make PDFs within any application, without any other software or macros.
