Marx" Here's an interesting sounding addition for OpenOffice. As sent to the OpenOffice [dev] mailing list: PyOpenOffice 0.2: Process OpenOffice.org Writer Files and transform them to PDF without installing OpenOffice.org What is PyOpenOffice? * It is a class library, written in the Python Language. * It is a platform-independent command-line utility (many abilities of the commandline interface are still missing) What can do PyOpenOffice do for you? * Make serial letters, database reports etc. from templates in the SXW-Format and store them anew as SXW-Files * Replace pictures - generate catalogues, worksheets, photo galleries etc. from an SXW-Template * Extract the pure text information from the SXW-Document and store it in a plain text file or a PDF-File * Perform simple transformations from SXW-Files to PDF-Files without installing OO - for example on a webserver What license has PyOpenOffice? * It is distributed under the GNU Public License What software is required? * Any operating system that supports the following software: * Python 2.3 (maybe it works form 2.1 upwards, but this is not recommended) for the SXW-Processing * The ReportlabToolkit and the Python Imaging Library for the transformation from SXW to PDF * OpenOffice.org for viewing and editing the templates * The PyOpenOffice-Zip-Package Homepage: http://www.bezirksreiter.de/PyOpenOffice.htm There you also find a "Live"-version to test it without installing. I am looking forward to your feedback. -- Warpstock 2004, Denver, Colorado, October 21 - 24, 2004 http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe 2004, Arnhem, The Netherlands, November 26-28th, 2004 http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
