 Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 11:00 am Post subject: Commandline PDF converter tool |
 |
|
HI,
in short, because have not the time for a long explantion.
Here's the code for full commandline PDF converter written
in C# using the CLI Assemblies. It should be simple to port
this to other programming lanaguages.
I will write some more comments tomorow 
| Code: |
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.lang;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.uno;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.bridge;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.frame;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// usage pdfconverter sourcefile targetfile [1]
/// use 1 for overwrite the target.
/// </summary>
class PdfConverter
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if(!CheckArguments(args))
return;
if(StartOpenOffice())
{
//Get a ComponentContext
unoidl.com.sun.star.uno.XComponentContext xLocalContext =
uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
//Get MultiServiceFactory
unoidl.com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory xRemoteFactory =
(unoidl.com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory)
xLocalContext.getServiceManager();
//Get a CompontLoader
XComponentLoader aLoader =
(XComponentLoader) xRemoteFactory.createInstance( "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" );
//Load the sourcefile
XComponent xComponent = initDocument(aLoader,
PathConverter(args[0]), "_blank");
//Wait for loading
while(xComponent == null)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
saveDocument(xComponent, PathConverter(args[1]));
//Wait for input
Console.WriteLine("Conversation completed!");
}
}
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
/// <param name="aLoader">A ComponentLoader</param>

/// <returns>Th Component</returns>
static XComponent initDocument(
XComponentLoader aLoader, string file, string target
)
{
XComponent xComponent = aLoader.loadComponentFromURL(
file, target, 0,
new unoidl.com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue[0] );
return xComponent;
}
/// <summary>

/// <param name="xComponent">The x component.</param>

propertyValue[0].Value = new uno.Any("writer_pdf_Export");
((XStorable)xComponent).storeToURL(fileName, propertyValue);
}

private static string PathConverter(string file)
{
try
{
file = file.Replace(@"\", "/");
return "file:///"+file;
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
/// <summary>

private static bool CheckArguments(string[] args)
{
bool overwrite = false;
if(args.Length >= 2)
{
if(File.Exists(args[0]))
{
if(args[1].ToLower().EndsWith(".pdf"))
{
if(args.Length > 2)
if(args[2] == "1")
overwrite = true;
if(File.Exists(args[1]) && overwrite)
{
File.Delete(args[1]);
}
else if(File.Exists(args[1]) && !overwrite)
{
Console.WriteLine("Targetfile exist use 1 as third argument to overwrite the target file!");
return false;
}
}
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Use sourcefile targetfile [1]!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
/// <summary>
/// Starts the open office.
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
private static bool StartOpenOffice()
{
Process[] ps = Process.GetProcessesByName("soffice.exe");
if(ps != null)
{
if(ps.Length > 0)
return true;
else
{
Process p = Process.Start("soffice.exe");
//spent some time to start
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
}
return true;
}
}
}

As mentioned tomorrow I will write some more info;)

Hi,
i tried your example., using .NET framework 2.0.50727. I have a successfull built but unfortunately the filter doesn't work. No matter if I use "text" or "writer_pdf_export" for the propertyValue[0].value i always get the same outputformat (mimetypeapplication/vnd.oasis.opendocument.textPK)
any hints?
regards
bernhard |

propertyValue[0].Name = "FilterName" not "Filter"  |
