I've got a really annoying problem with chained frames and pdf's. I have a table larger than one page, inside a textframe anchored to a paragraph in a table. The textframe is chained to another textframe (which is inside a table and anchored to a paragraph, and has table inside it).
In writer everything looks great, but as soon as I try to export I see the following behaviour: 1. if I call a macro which executes the .uno:ExportDirectToPDF command and the dispatcher uses ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame then the current frame (if there is a visible frame) gets dumped and my document looks great, I see two frames and they are chained (the desired effect). I would be happy using this method, but I am pretty certain that ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame is not always the correct frame. For example when I go in hidden mode and no document has ever been visibly openned it crashes, or if I create a document 1. visible, then a new document 2. invisible, it goes and creates a pdf out of document 1. 2. if I call the same macro but try to pass in a document or frame, then all i get is one long table inside a frame which has been cropped. 3. if use the dispatcher from java with either XDispatch or XDispatchHelper I get the same effect as in 2. And oddly enough sometimes, but rarely I get the desired effect. 4. I if save the document with storeToUrl the chains disappear (ie I get the same effect as in 2 and 3). Point 4 leads me to believe that something is going with in the storing process, not the export process. Point 4 is also annoying because without a saved document, this problem will be very difficult to reproduce. I have played with the UI and it can create pdfs which are chained and it can save documents with chained frames. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the desired effect? kind regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
