Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My concern is that using shell execute I won't be able to get a xcomponent object which i need to process the file. http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/system/XSystemShellExecute.html I think using the appropriate filter should work. Will go test it. > Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:51:35 +0200 > From: boh...@gmail.com > To: dev@api.openoffice.org > Subject: Re: [api-dev] pdf import programmatically > > 2010/6/7 Wei Min Teo <shaun...@hotmail.com> > > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am trying import pdf files to edit.
