Hello,

I use DocumentConverter.java (in java example in sdk OOo) file for my project but i need to convert word to OOo format and now i can just convert OOo to word.
I convert documents OOo .sxw to word format .doc with this argument :

Code:

"c:/tmp" "swriter: MS Word 97" "doc"

It converts all files in the directory with extension sxw to doc.

But this argument doesn't work :

Code:

"c:/tmp" "MS Word 97: swriter" "sxw"

It doesn't convert .doc files to .sxw swriter

Please help . Thanks

Problem is that "MS Word 97: swriter" is not the name of a valid filter. See one of these discussions for a complete list of valid filter names. Pick one from these lists...

The reason I believe that the 1st argument must be the EXPORT filter name is because of these lines in the source....

Code:

// Setting the filter name
propertyvalue[ 1 ] = new PropertyValue();
propertyvalue[ 1 ].Name = "FilterName";
propertyvalue[ 1 ].Value = DocumentConverter.stringConvertType;

and this...

Code:

// Getting the given type to convert to
stringConvertType = args[ 1 ];

But, I've never tried to use this java program myself. I do it in Basic.

Try a first argument of maybe....

StarOffice XML (Writer)

or maybe...

StarWriter 5.0 (StarWriter/Web)

or pick something else from the list. Good luck.
