Re: [libreoffice-users] close application/document
I expected that after closing the last open document and exiting the
macro, either the desktop would display or OpenOffice would end. Leaving
OpenOffice running with no GUI to access it feels a bit tricky The
user then needs to start a second copy of OO and manually kill the
running copy. Admittedly I did not try starting a new copy to see if it
took-over for the running copy, but for me, that is the concern.

my setup is profoundly relying on this feature. I do want to keep libreoffice

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.

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] AOO for Android - not worth the download
I downloaded Apache's Open Office for Android from Google Play. I have a Nook HD+, with a 9 inch display, i.e. 7.5 inches wide display, with 16 gig internal. After the initial load/splash screen, I waited for over 4 minutes and I still could not get the keyboard or any other controls to work. So I tried to use the back button to exit the app but it would not work. I had to use the Nook Button to go to my Home screen to get out of that frozen AOO screen. AOO-Android used the full top menu bars that you would see in a normal install of AOO or LO on Windows or Linux. Those menu bars on the top of the screen was so small, even my tablet pen could not touch only the needed option. It touched the options all around it as well. Now, I have a 9 inch tablet. It would even be worse on a 7 inch tablet. So, here is my opinion about what LOfor Android should be like. 1] Forget trying to have the full width top menu bars visible at the same time. Maybe have it be on some type of left/right scroll. 2] Make the menus large enough to easily see and use on a 7 inch tablet. AOO's was too small for even a 9 inch one. 3] Try and make it open, to the point you can start typing, in less than 2 minutes, if possible. If not, warn the user it may take x number of minutes to load up completely. 4] Do not try to make LO-Android do too much. People need a basic office package to do some quick things. It should not be areplacement for a desktop or laptop system. 5] Make sure there is enough room between the top menu bar[s] and the tablet's default keyboard, without making the menus and control icons too small to use properly and easily. 6] Make it able to run on a tablet that has a smallRAM and slower CPUs, compared to the top of the line tablets. Not all tablets have dual core CPUs with 2+ gig of RAM and 4+ gig internal storage. My old one does not even come close. I do not know what people really need to do on a tablet, for their office package needs. What type of features and options are really needed, or wanted. Sure, you will need to be able to display the ODF and OOXML [07-13] documents. But what editing options will you need? I just bought my first tablet that used Google Play. My last one was a 7 inch that used Amazon and other app stores, but it was a low end one. This new Nook HD+ was 44% off for the week of 9th through the 15th, Father's Day Salepricing was the only way I could afford to get one of these better tablets. I am still learning what this better tablet can do and what apps I might want or need. Right now, I do not want a packagelike AOO for Android. So, I do not know how far the team is on the LO for Android app, but hopefully they will not make the same mistakes as Apache did with their version. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

That implies that the OP wants to do something like mailmerge, where database record data fields are inserted into the Draw text blocks. I am not sure Draw supports that. I suppose the Draw image of the pdf form could be inserted into a Writer document as a background (something like a watermark) and then mailmerge type fields could be put on top of the Draw image with frames, but I have never done that.

RE: [libreoffice-users] AOO for Android - not worth the download
AndrOpenOffice (AOO) is not an Apache OpenOffice project. If it were it would be on the Apache OpenOffice SVN, the bugzilla, there'd be release votes, etc. There is no indication that AndrOpenOffice is even open source, although there is apparently significant (non-GPL) open source content. You'll also notice that it does not appear to use any of the Apache OpenOffice trademarks or logos, at least not on the Google Play site. Nothing wrong with it being a port. It just isn't being conducted by the Apache OpenOffice project. There are disclaimers about full features of ... deeper in the material.
