Hello,
I am using OOo in headless mode together with PyODConverter
(http://www.artofsolving.com/node/26). I made a little change to the script
so it will update the Table of Contents before outputting the resulting
document:
document = self.desktop.loadComponentFromURL(inputUrl, "_blank", 0,
_unoProps(Hidden=True, ReadOnly=True)
try:
indexes = document.getDocumentIndexes()
for i in range(0, indexes.getCount()):
index = indexes.getByIndex(i)
index.update()
except:
pass
document.storeToURL(outputUrl, _unoProps(FilterName=filterName))
However, the indexes aren't updated correctly. I.e. some entries in the ToC
point to the wrong page number.
It seems OOo needs some time to figure out how many pages are in the
document and what title is on what page. I see the same when I open my
document in OOo. When I open my document, it starts out saying that there
are 10 pages, a second later it's 11 and another second later 12. It seems
to be "reflowing" the document several times before everything is layed out
correctly (to borrow that term from web browsers).
If I delete the layout-cache file from the ODF container (and it's entry in
manifest.xml) then it starts out at a pagecount of 18 and reduces back to
12.
if I add a 10 second sleep between opening the document and updating the
ToC, it does work correctly. But I don't want to add an arbitrary pause in
the document conversion.
Is there a way to force a reflow through the Python Uno API? Or is there a
way to get notified when OOo has finished reflowing and laying out the
document, so I can wait for it?
Kind regards,
