Thanks. Cheers, Wei Min The documentation for a filter should be available as a specification, or possibly in the Developers' Guide, but these are not always easy to find; they may not exist. However, if you can successfully open a particular type of file by hand, through the GUI, then you can find those specific settings easily: look in the file! :-) There are tools - the BASIC IDE is one - for inspecting an open file. If I recall correctly, you need to find the Media Descriptor. It will have the parameter names and value strings, including the filter name, formatted exactly as you should use them. -- /tj/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] RE: [api-dev] pdf import programmatically
Hi, You can find documentation about this here : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options But there is also an empiric way : 1- open the document from the GUI 2- read the FilterName and FilterOptions properties of the correspondent component. Use its getArgs() method to access these properties (http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/frame/XModel.html#getArgs). T.

Hi Thibault Vataire, Thanks. I think this seem like it should work. It was suggested by cor nouws too.

Re: [dev] RE: [api-dev] pdf import programmatically
Hi, To open you document programmatically, you can do that : sub main dim xComp as object dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args(0).name = FilterName args(0).value = draw_pdf_import xComp = starDesktop.loadComponentFromUrl(convertToUrl(/home/tvataire/Bureau/resultat.pdf), _blank, com.sun.star.frame.FrameSearchFlag.CREATE, args) end sub This works on a pdf document previously created with Writer.
