I have to dig out the code, but what I have in mind is getting the XRrenderable interface from the loaded document, render each page to an output device and then get the conten from the output device as an image. I don't remember exactly, but possible you can get only a (Windows) Bitmap that way, but this can be converted to a TIFF with either external tools or with a conversion service of OOo. > Peter Eberlein kindly suggested embedding a doc-file into an empty draw > document as an OLE-object and then exporting the draw document as a tiff but > I'm not sure if I can do this programmatically yet. I think that is posssible, but even if you make the OLE object as big as possible, you are also limited to import each draw page individually. So you have to hack your doc file into single pages and insert them one by one on a new draw page - looks awkward to me. > Any ideas which approach would be best? If you want to try something, go for the "XRenderable" API, we use it ourselves for the PDF export. I have no code here yet and I might need some days to find something - but perhaps you can find it by trying.
