You can implement a small program (Java, C++ or Python) doing that. For Java and C++ are examples in the OO.org SDK. And for these languages an easy UNO bootstrap mechanism is available. But of course you always need an installed office on the machine. Python should work as well but i am not really familiar with Python. For Java i would suggest our OpenOffice.org API plugin for NetBeans that helps to do it easily (UNO client program wizard). The plugin is available over the normal update center of NetBeans (5.5 or 5.5.1, NB 6 is coming soon) Hope that helps Juergen Well, my level of knowledge on open office API is about as near zero as it is possible to get and I have hitherto been a C, ObjC and Perl programmer mainly, although I am reading the Python manual right now. I'm sort of hoping I can just get a bit of example code that I can make a simple change to in order to get the results I want. Should not be anything very special required as all I need is to load a ppt file and then export it as pdf and exit. Dale Amon wrote: Juergen: I've got what should be a simple problem to solve but I am not sure whether I have to scale a learning cliff to accomplish it. I have been asked to set up a means by which I can on the command line convert a ppt to pdf. I can do this via the openoffice GUI easily enough by opening the ppt and using the EXPORT-PDF menu option. I should think this would be an easy thing to do on the command line but documentation is rather sparse and non-specific. Is there a simple way to do this? someprogram input.ppt output.pdf pdfimage -j output.pdf outputpages is all I really want (yes I need both pdf and jpegs at the end of the process)... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] Proposed Thread / Process Lifecycle
Hi, the example given uses pthreads. While this may show the idea, could you please instead replace it with an axample using osl threads from sal ? Just my 2 cents, pl Kay Ramme - Sun Germany - Hamburg wrote: Hi OOo developers, once a while we face the situation, that it is unclear how a long a thread should live, if it should be cancellable, and when the containing process is going to terminate (e.g. http://udk.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80300). Therefor I wrote a short proposal about controlling the life time, supplemented by some example code to illustrate the behavior. If you are interested, please have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Kr/A_Thread%27s_Life and comment on the discussion page. Ideally the proposal becomes a specification, being mandatory for thread implementors.

The regcomp atexit join_daemons atexit handler would be called too late as the static objects within the pyuno bridge (and potentially within the whole office) would get destructed before. this was only an example for illustration purposes of the concept ... sorry that I did not make that clear ;-) The only safe way is too terminate these daemon threads before main() exits ... Certainly, going to rewrite the example suitable for use by shared libraries / components soon.

[dev] OLE, Source code generation and reflection ... the boring story ...
I'm still on a rather boring project here (actually I worked for this last year also but stopped that working and now I'm looking at that problem again) ... I try to connect VASmalltalk to OpenOffice via OLE. My approach was to get all the information from OpenOffice via reflection and then I try to produce Smalltalk code, which can be pretty nice used to do OpenOffice programming at least under Windows using OLE. One of my first problems to get a list of all services, constants, enum etc ... there is simply no way to get this via software control. Therefore I installed the SDK and parsed all files below the directory classes and I got a list with more than 3000 items - fine. Via this method and some reflection I get around 176 definitions for enums, constants and so on. Then I tried to get information about services and interfaces, but this sometimes has success (e.g 'com.sun.star.chart2.Title'), but sometimes not a single information can be retrieved (e.g. ''com.sun.star.chart2.DataPoint''). In the later case I always get VtUnknown error from the OLE subsystem. My attempts to get more meta information is either via the core reflection service or via an instance via beans.introspection but both classes can not deliver valid informations on most interfaces and services. Any idea how what the problem can be Marten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
