Hi,



When I try to move a database field on top of an  image (or PDF object),
writer won't let me place it on top of the image.

Is there a way to put a database field on top of an image?


If you try to insert the fields by dragging and dropping on top of the 
image, then this will only work for the first field, and only on the 
first line of the page, and even then only if the image is arranged in 
the background apparently, at least from my testing - in other words, 
completely useless.


If however, you drag and drop your fields first, and then insert the 
image and set that to wrap in background, you can  put your fields more 
or less wherever you want.

[libreoffice-users] close application/document

2013-06-21 Thread Vieri
Hi,

When I close my document/application with a java macro such as:
 
XModel xDocModel = xScriptContext.getDocument();
xDocModel.dispose();

then the doc and application close but I notice that the soffice.bin and .exe 
(Windows 7) are still running as processes. The bad thing is that if I try to 
open another .odt file then it won't show up on screen (I will end up having 
several soffice.bin/.exe processes running but no GUI).

I've read somewhere that I should use .close(true) instead of .dispose() but I 
can't seem to find the .close method in Java. Any hints?

Anyway, is there anything wrong with .dispose()? 

Thanks,

Vieri

Weird.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Database field on top of PDF document

2013-06-21 Thread howellsilverman
Ok thanks. I tried that. It worked.  You need a form with a transparent
background which took a little work with gimp (
http://www.ehow.com/how_8422694_remove-white-gimp.html).  Then I used a
table to place the fields where I wanted them..  So I can see a method to
get this handled.

What would be much easier would be to be able to make the image a
background layer or a watermark (like microsoft), overlay it with a
transparent table and then place the fields to match the form. I wouldn't
have to go the extra step of making the background transparent.  If you
have a lot of fields, it's a lot of clicking.

The other way I could do it is have a blank form, place the fields on a
transparent table for precise locations, then overprint the hardcopy form.
 Then I would have to scan the completed document.  Either way - there are
some extra steps to get what I want, but it can be done.

So... Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Database field on top of PDF document

2013-06-21 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Wow!  The hap seemed to make that quite complicated in Gimp.  I just 
1.  right-click on the layer in the side-panel to Add Alpha Channel.  
2.  then up to the top-menu-bar to click on Select and Select by colour
3.  click on the colour i want to see through
4.  hit the delete key (well, press it softly really)
5.  save in a format that does support transparencies, such as NOT jpg

That would get the insides of all the boxes/fields in one go.  


Tbh i thought there was a way of setting an image to be at the very back or 
even as a water-mark.  Draw might be better for this and then create text-boxes 
over the parts of the image you want to write on.  

So, i am not quite sure why we went the Gimp route but i like using Gimp and 
it's good to learn new tricks with it.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

You don't say what it is you want as your PDF document and what that has
to do with Writer ?

For example, in Base, you can create a database form with a background
image that will have some degree of transparency.

You can also do this independently as a Writer document, into which you
insert your fields from your database. It is possible to insert and
image in this Writer document which can be set to be a watermark, i.e.
with a degree of transparency.

Where does the PDF come in ? Are you exporting your form to FPDF ?

Sorry, but I guess I'm missing something.

Re: [libreoffice-users] close application/document

2013-06-21 Thread Vieri
By the way, the same thing happens if I use a Basic macro with a call to:

thisComponent.close(true)

The soffice.{bin,exe} processes keep running in the background when they 
shouldn't (even on Windows, I'm not using the quickstarter).
I'm expecting the processes to terminate after .close() (I don't want the extra 
memory footprint).

So could this be a bug?

[libreoffice-users] Bug Confirmation Event Update

2013-06-21 Thread Joel Madero
Hi All,

Quick update: those of you participating our doing an incredible job, if
others want to join I encourage you more than ever to do so, it's really
been a great experience for me and has once again provided proof that
together, we can get a tremendous amount done.

In less than 2 days (42.5 hours there about) we're down 98 bugs in the list
which is about 8.2% of the total count, my personal goal -- which I admit I
thought was a bit naive and hoping for too much - was to get the list down
by 25% or about 300 bugs, obviously I underestimated.


Thanks to those participating, for those thinking about it, please join!
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Projects/Bug_Triage_Contest

and the QA IRC channel (#libreoffice-qa) is very active if you'd like to
come and see one of the components which makes the wheels move forward.

2013-06-21 Thread howellsilverman
That is correct.  These are forms that are available to me as pdf's without
fillable fields.  Even if the fields were fillable - I want to fill them
from a database.  I'm not the creator of these forms so I have to work
backward from what I receive.

 Hi Howell,
 
  Ok thanks. I tried that. It worked.  You need a form with a transparent
  background which took a little work with gimp (
  http://www.ehow.com/how_8422694_remove-white-gimp.html).  Then I used
 a
  table to place the fields where I wanted them..  So I can see a method
 to
  get this handled.
 
 I am a bit lost as to what it is exactly you are trying to achieve.
 
 You don't say what it is you want as your PDF document and what that has
 to do with Writer ?
 
 For example, in Base, you can create a database form with a background
 image that will have some degree of transparency.
 
 You can also do this independently as a Writer document, into which you
 insert your fields from your database. It is possible to insert and
 image in this Writer document which can be set to be a watermark, i.e.
 with a degree of transparency.
 
 Where does the PDF come in ? Are you exporting your form to FPDF ?
 
 Sorry, but I guess I'm missing something.
 
 Alex

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Database field on top of PDF document

2013-06-21 Thread Girvin R. Herr
I have only done it 1 or 2 times myself, but that has not been my 
experience.  Yes, there are different types of pdf files out there.  
Some, the pdf form could actually be modified, the others, not.  
However, just positioning text fields in the form blanks was easy 
enough.  Once I got one text block formatted to what I wanted, I just 
copy-pasted it into the other fields and edited the text.  Making the 
text field bigger or smaller to account for different sizes of form 
fields was not a problem for me in Draw - just grab the tags.  I even 
was able to scan my signature in as a graphic and paste it in the proper 
place.  That took a bit of technique, since the graphic was not 
transparent and if it were not small enough to fit in the space 
allotted, it would blank out parts of the form around it.  I recommend 
just keeping the scan edges close to the script and it should be okay.


Why did I do it?  My handwriting is not what it once was and I wanted 
the reader to be able to read my entries without mistakes.  As it turned 
out in one case, they messed it up anyway!  :-(

Piece of cake with Draw.  I've done it.  Now if the OP wants
automation,
I can't help there.

[libreoffice-users] Impress Templates

2013-06-21 Thread Sajan Parikh
Are there any sources I can find some better, cleaner, and more modern 
looking Impress templates?


The Presentation-Templates section at LO only has a couple for 4.x.

I installed an extension for OOo called Modern Templates which gave me 
a few extra, but none of them were really any good.

Re: [libreoffice-users] close application/document

2013-06-21 Thread Andrew Douglas Pitonyak

Off hand, it sounds like a bug...

If I close a document from the GUI, it opens the desktop thing.  I 
wonder why a macro works differently. This is probably due to 
interaction between the macro infrastructure and LO, but I am only 
guessing. If you open a bug against it, indicate that here and I will 
add some comments to your bug.


On 06/21/2013 02:03 PM, Vieri wrote:

By the way, the same thing happens if I use a Basic macro with a call to:

thisComponent.close(true)

The soffice.{bin,exe} processes keep running in the background when they 
shouldn't (even on Windows, I'm not using the quickstarter).
I'm expecting the processes to terminate after .close() (I don't want the extra 
memory footprint).

So could this be a bug?
