Hi All, Background: - MS Word documents are transferred to a UNIX server where we plan to use OpenOffice 3.2.0 and JODConverter to transform them to PDFs. We have prototyped this successfully.
Requirement: - We need to make changes to those documents before we convert them to PDF (unless anyone can convince me that it is easier to operate on the PDF). Specifically, we need to insert some graphics into the otherwise blank header and footer on the first page. Our first thoughts are that we can use the UNO API to do this programmatically in Java. Can we effectively open the MS Word document in OpenOffice and use the API to do what we want. Has anyone any experience with this? Alternatively, maybe we could use other (scripting?) features of OpenOffice to do what we want. However, I'm less sure about how we would run these in a server environment. Please note that this is all happening on a server install of OpenOffice and client side is not an option.
