Yes, go here: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hpsf/thumbnails.html
That page will help you extract the data but it is in WMF format. BEWARE: there are several java libraries that claim to be able to read WMF files but they are seriously buggy and lacking most features. I had to write my own. It was for work, so unfortunately, I can't share it. I used the info here to create a WMF library http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html It isn't hard, just tedious. You will need a basic understanding of 2d graphics. Things like affine transforms, pixel boolean operations, etc. -Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "POI Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 10:15 PM Subject: thumbnail > i know word or excel can be saved with generating a thumbnail and it can > be viewed in the windows file explorer, > but is there any way to extract the thumbnail from a word or excel file !? > > thanks. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
