Re: Extract all content from a page of a document and add to a textframe in another document

by Chris Fleischmann :: Rate this Message:

I have since found that I can extract the contents of the page (albeit a little too manual for my liking), like so:

private void copyContents() {
try {
//the controllers
XController xController_sourceDoc = xTextDocument_src.getCurrentController();
XController xController_targetDoc = xTextDocument_dest.getCurrentController();

// the cursor for the source document
XTextViewCursorSupplier xViewCursorSupplier_sourceDoc =
(XTextViewCursorSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextViewCursorSupplier.class,
xController_sourceDoc);

//selecting the whole source document
XTextViewCursor xTextViewCursor_sourceDoc =
xViewCursorSupplier_sourceDoc.getViewCursor();

XPageCursor xPageCursor =
(XPageCursor) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XPageCursor.class,
xTextViewCursor_sourceDoc);

// select the current page of document with the cursor
xPageCursor.jumpToLastPage();
xPageCursor.jumpToEndOfPage();

int currentPage = xPageCursor.getPage();

while (xPageCursor.getPage() == currentPage) {
if (!xTextViewCursor_sourceDoc.goLeft((short)1, true)) {
break;
}
}

//getting the data supplier of our source doc
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier_sourceDoc =
(XTransferableSupplier) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTransferableSupplier.class,
xController_sourceDoc);

//saving the selected contents
XTransferable xTransferable =
xTransferableSupplier_sourceDoc.getTransferable();

//getting the data supplier of our target doc
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier_targetDoc =
(XTransferableSupplier) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTransferableSupplier.class,
xController_targetDoc);

//the cursor for the target document
XTextViewCursorSupplier xViewCursorSupplier_targetDoc =
(XTextViewCursorSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextViewCursorSupplier.class,
xController_targetDoc);

//going to the end of the source document
XTextViewCursor xTextViewCursor_targetDoc =
xViewCursorSupplier_targetDoc.getViewCursor();
xTextViewCursor_targetDoc.gotoEnd(false);

//inserting the source document there
xTransferableSupplier_targetDoc.insertTransferable(xTransferable);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}

Now obviously I can expland the while loop to iterate over "every" page as I am doing above... Now to see if i can add it to a textframe (autosizing as appropriate).

If there is a better approach, please do let me know.

Folks, perhaps this has already been answered, or perhaps cannot be done, but I am attempting to add content to a Writer / XText... adding content that is either an image or normal text (with different font attributes; bold, italics, underline etc)... Once the page is created, I would then like to be able to extract all of the contents from the newly created pages, and with a new blank document, transfer each page in to a textframe that I programmatically create shrinking the "page content" to fit the text frame...

Does any one know how I would go about that/this?

So far I have simple functions like;

protected void createExampleData(com.sun.star.text.XText xText) {

try {
xText.setString("This is an example sentence");

com.sun.star.text.XWordCursor xWordCursor =
(com.sun.star.text.XWordCursor) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.text.XWordCursor.class, xText.getStart());

xWordCursor.gotoNextWord(false);
xWordCursor.gotoNextWord(false);
xWordCursor.gotoEndOfWord(true);

com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet xPropertySet =
(com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet.class, xWordCursor);
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("CharWeight",
new Float(com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}

protected void loadJpgImage(XText xText, String strImgFileName, int width, int height)
throws Exception, java.lang.Exception {
// insert RectangleShape and get shape text, then manipulate text
Object textGraphicObject = xWriterFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextGraphicObject");

XTextContent xTextContent = (XTextContent) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextContent.class, textGraphicObject);

XPropertySet xPropertySet = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, textGraphicObject);

xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("AnchorType", TextContentAnchorType.AT_PARAGRAPH);

xText.insertTextContent(xText.getEnd(), xTextContent, false);

// Setting the vertical and horizontal position
//xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("HoriOrientPosition", new Integer(x));
//xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("VertOrientPosition", new Integer(y));
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("Width", new Integer(width));
xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("Height", new Integer(height));

xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("GraphicURL", strImgFileName);

Object xBitmapContainerObject = xWriterFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.BitmapTable");

XNameContainer xBitmapContainer = (XNameContainer)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XNameContainer.class, xBitmapContainerObject);

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(strImgFileName.getBytes(), 0, strImgFileName.length());

String internalName = new BigInteger(1, md.digest()).toString(16);

xBitmapContainer.insertByName(internalName, strImgFileName);

String internalURL = (String)(xBitmapContainer.getByName(internalName));

xPropertySet.setPropertyValue("GraphicURL", internalURL);

xBitmapContainer.removeByName(internalName);
}

To create sample text, and to load images in to the document...

And now I would like to be able to extract such content/the page, to then insert the content in to a textFrame of another document. Is this possible?
