1. A quick way to snag a snapshot of the first page of the doc
using OO for the thumbnail?
Unfortunately there seems to be no general API to create a thumbnail of
a document. May be there is an application API that would allow this.
Actually it would be no problem to implement it generally in framework,
I have just submitted an enhancement for this
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100663
2. A faster way to convert the doc? Currently, I'm loading the
file from a URL, then storing the file (which does the conversion). Is
there a faster utility that doesn't force me to open and save the doc?
Currently all the documents that were stored using 2.4 and 3.x versions
contain an internal thumbnail. It is in png-format and has size 256x256
pixels. If it is enough, you could try to get the storage from the
loaded model using
css::document::XStorageBasedDocument::getDocumentStorage(), open the
substorage "Thumbnails" and then open the stream "thumbnail.png" in the
substorage. The stream contains the thumbnail.
Please remember that very old versions of the office do not store the
thumbnail, so there is a probability that a document has no thumbnail.
In this case the way you are doing it currently looks to be reasonable.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Mikhail.
Aaron
