Hi, I'm trying to render a page to a bitmap and I don't get it working.
Drawing primitives works but not render a document. Do anyone know how
to do this? Here is my code: public static BufferedImage makeThumb(File
inFile) throws IOException, BootstrapException,
IllegalArgumentException, Exception, java.io.IOException {
XComponentLoader xCompLoader =
OfficeConnection.getConnection().getXComponentLoader(); PropertyValue[]
loadProps = new PropertyValue[2]; loadProps[0] =
OfficeTools.makeProperty("ReadOnly", Boolean.TRUE); loadProps[1] =
OfficeTools.makeProperty("Hidden", Boolean.TRUE); XComponent xDoc =
xCompLoader.loadComponentFromURL(OfficeTools.makeOpenOfficeUrl(inFile.getAbsolutePath()),
"_blank", 0, loadProps); XRenderable xRender =
(XRenderable)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XRenderable.class, xDoc); if
(xRender != null) { System.out.println("Is Renderable"); XDevice xDevice
=
OfficeConnection.getConnection().getXToolkit().createScreenCompatibleDevice(1024,
1024); PropertyValue[] renderProps = new PropertyValue[2];
renderProps[0] = OfficeTools.makeProperty("RenderDevive", xDevice);
renderProps[1] = OfficeTools.makeProperty("PageRange", "1");
xRender.render(0, xDoc, renderProps); XBitmap xBitmap =
xDevice.createBitmap(0, 0, 1024, 1024); if (xBitmap != null) return
ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(xBitmap.getDIB())); else
System.out.println("No bitmap created!"); } else {
System.out.println("Not Renderable"); } return null; } Thanks in
advance, Erik Wigforss
