Ian,
I think there is another problem. I looked at the source code for
addPageBreak() and it puts the page break before the reference paragraph.
Here is the work around I found to add a page break followed by a header as
the first row of the new page:
private TextDocument odtFile; // instantiated by the class
private void addNewPage(String text, int level) {
// Add an empty paragraph on the previous page to give the page break
// something to reference
Paragraph p0 = odtFile.addParagraph("");
try {
OdfContentDom dom = odtFile.getContentDom();
OdfOfficeAutomaticStyles styles = dom.getAutomaticStyles();
OdfStyle style = styles.newStyle(OdfStyleFamily.Paragraph);
// set break after paragraph not before
style.newStyleParagraphPropertiesElement().setFoBreakAfterAttribute("page");
p0.getOdfElement().setStyleName(style.getStyleNameAttribute());
// Now that we've added a page break we can add the header paragraph
Paragraph p1 = odtFile.addParagraph(text);
p1.setTextContent(text);
if (level > 0) {
p1.applyHeading(true, level);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(EMCReportGenerator.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
}
}
I think if addPageBreak() used setFoBreakAfterAttribute instead of
setFoBreakBeforeAttribute, then the following Simple API code would work:
odtFile.addPageBreak();
odtFile.addParagraph(text).applyHeading(true, level);
much nicer.
Thanks for the help,
Alan
