Hi,
I need to put together a booklet with repetitive information from a
database, which includes text and a picture. Given a template for a
page I made in Draw, I would like to fill the template in a way
similar to a mail merge from a MySQL database. A complication that
prevents me from using the built-in mail merge is a page numbering
scheme that requires a scripted logic. I would like to impliment this
in Python, because I am familiar with it (but not with openoffice
scripting). I have found basic guides for the OOo python interface,
but I haven't been able to find example code of what I am trying to
do. Can anyone point me to an example of using python with a drawing?
Specifically, the actions that I don't know how to do are the following:
- Access a named text field on a drawing and changing the contents
- Loading an image into a named image container
- Create a copy of the current drawing to fill in another page of information
If I'm approaching this the wrong way, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks for your help,
Miles
