[libreoffice-users] Re: Newbie help needed please.

[Diamondblack]

May I start of by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me?

I have managed to alter the PDF file using Inkscape as suggested, it took a
long time but I am sure that it is OK.


AutoBild_logo_2009.pdf

  


The 2017 file was given to me by the manufactures and I don’t know if they
still have the original 2009 file, I could have asked for it but I didn’t
want to be a pain.

I need the edited file so that a local acrylic manufacture can print the
logo and text on a piece of clear acrylic for me, the acrylic is a cover for
diecast model car display case that got damaged in the post.

I think the Logo and Text is UV flatbed printed onto the acrylic 

Once again thank you to everyone who has helped

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior

[Peggy]

More on Macros. My shortcuts are still there. One still worked. Maybe I
found it under the list under tables and just assigned a shortcut. It was
"select table."
One had some technical terms I didn't understand and when I used the
shortcut to convert the table to text (which I remember recording) I got an
error message that I'll attach.
Hoping attachments are OK?

Problems? 

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior

[Peggy]

I checked and got the message about Java when I chose "organize macros >
LibreOffice Basic. (Writer isn't there.) I said "No" and now I see my
Macros without getting the message.

Anyhow my macros are gone again.

I made a library called "My Macros" Maybe if I store them under the
Standard Library, they won't disappear. I assigned each one to a shortcut
so I shouldn't need to go into the library, should I?

I still can't figure out why, when I save a document and then look under
"Run Macros," I find a new library with the title I just saved. Tried it
just now and titled it Test.
Sure enough, there it is! I looked under another document I had opened and
found a library for both that one and "Test." Then I opened one from the
Run option in the Win 7 start menu and checked and there is a Library named
"untitled 2" even before I saved it.

Is this usual behavior? I know so little and have always used Writer to
create simple text documents or tables. This is the first time I tried
creating macros.

Also, for some reason, I can't get LibreOffice Writer to put an icon on the
taskbar. I have to start a new doc from Windows 7 start menu "Run
LibreOffice Writer."

Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Underlined unformatted text

[Peggy]

You are right. It doesn't. I usually open a page that I had formatted the
way I like. It had some text when I saved it as a template.
I just delete the text and use the page which is saved as untitled.

I'm having some problems with writer. My taskbar link won't work anymore.
So I'll have to find the executable file and save another link to the
taskbar.
Also I'm having some crashing problems. Seems like it's happening since the
most recent update.

Thank you for the reply and the fix!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior

[Andrew Pitonyak]

Many features are not available without Java so it lives on every 
computer that I own. I am not sure what the security risk is, but, since 
everything has one


Happy to hear that your solved the problem and figured out where it is 
hiding.

This is probably related to "where did I store my macro".

If you remember...

1. Notice what Macro Library container you use. You might store a macro 
inside a document (and that would be a macro library container). Your 
choices here are really (a) some document, or (b) LibreOffice 
application.


2. Notice Library you used. Every Macro Library Container may contain 
numerous libraries. If you use the library named "Standard", then that 
macro will always be available, but, you cannot easily move macros 
stored in the standard library.


3. Notice what module you stored your macro. Each library can contain 
multiple modules.


I hope that I have not confused you too terribly much.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Predefinied constants (Macro, Basic)

Been there, done that.

I noticed just as I was hitting send, or I would have redirected back

You can enumerate those with:

theTypeDescriptionManager



There is a method EnumerateTypesTest. Notice that there is a 
typeArray. I
have note tested this, but, I could likely use the following two 
types




com.sun.star.uno.TypeClass.CONSTANT, _

com.sun.star.uno.TypeClass.CONSTANTS



And enumerate the constant types and print them. If I were 
industrious, I
would dump them into a Calc document. I can think of lots of things 
that I

could do.



I have a method in the UNO module called EnumerateEnumeratsions, 
which,

given a name, will print the names and associated values.

I have not looked at the predefined constants in a while, and I do 
not
remember how I got my list, but it was probably by reading the 
code.


WARNING: I am about to tell you to download a document containing 
macros.
The document looks just fine if you tell it to disable macros, but, 
it is a
document about macro programming and almost every one of those 
macros is
contained in libraries in the document. So, feel free to not enable 
them,
but you will not be able to click on the buttons in the document to 
test

run the contained macros.

Navigate here:
http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php

Download OpenOffice.org Macros Explained V4 (or just click on this 
link)


http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_4_0.odt


Open the document and search for the text "vbNewLine". This should 
land
you in table 10 Visual Basic-compatible string constants. This 
table lists
9 of this type of constant, but, they are only available if you 
enable
"compatibility mode" using "Option Compatible" in the module, or, 
by
calling CompatibilityMode(True) in your code before you use these 
specific

constants.

And no, I do not have an exhaustive list of defined constants. The
constants defined by the UNO object model, you can obtain using a 
macro,
but I do not think that it is directly related to your question so 
I will
not spend time finding the code that does that; but it is in the 
document

linked above.

And yes, Pi is a defined constant in LO Basic.

Hope this helped at least a little.


On 2018-07-22 16:26, Johnny Rosenberg wrote:


Hi!

I have done some searching and finally I found this at

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Constants:

”OpenOffice.org Basic predefines several constants. Among the 
most useful

are:

   - True and False, for Boolean assignment statements
   - PI as a type Double numeric value”

I assume this is true for LibreOffice as well, but I can't find 
the rest

of
the ”several constants”.

At work a use Excel (I don't really want to and it's full of bugs, 
but at
least I get paid…) and I wrote some macros in VBA. VBA has a lot 
of
predefined constants, for instance vbNewLine and a lot more, and 
I'm now
trying to find out what constants are available in LibreOffice 
Basic,

since
LibreOffice is what I use exclusively at home, so I don't have to
reinvent
the wheel.

So a link to a list of ALL predefined Basic constants would be 
very

appreciated.

​Hi,

For that kind of changes LibreOffice might not be your best option.
You should look into InkScape (it's also free software: ​
https://inkscape.org/en/ ). It can open PDF file with much more fidelity
than LibreOffice and allow very simple text changes (just 
double-click on

the text you want to edit).

LibreOffice is more of an authoring tool, and as said by others PDF is
*not* a format designed to be easily editable.


Great news.

I did not know that Inkscape would edit PDF files.

I just used it on Linux, instead of Corel Draw that is installed on 
Windows 10.


Will look into that myself.  I do hope this answer helps the original 
poster.


I use Draw to edit simpler PDFs and it works very well as in this 
posters case, even a PDF with 2 items, Inkscape I use for more 
complex PDFs or where the edits are more substantial.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Predefinied constants (Macro, Basic)

[Andrew Pitonyak]

I have not looked at the predefined constants in a while, and I do not 
remember how I got my list, but it was probably by reading the code.


WARNING: I am about to tell you to download a document containing 
macros. The document looks just fine if you tell it to disable macros, 
but, it is a document about macro programming and almost every one of 
those macros is contained in libraries in the document. So, feel free to 
not enable them, but you will not be able to click on the buttons in the 
document to test run the contained macros.


Navigate here:
http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php

Download OpenOffice.org Macros Explained V4 (or just click on this 
link)


http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_4_0.odt


Open the document and search for the text "vbNewLine". This should land 
you in table 10 Visual Basic-compatible string constants. This table 
lists 9 of this type of constant, but, they are only available if you 
enable "compatibility mode" using "Option Compatible" in the module, or, 
by calling CompatibilityMode(True) in your code before you use these 
specific constants.


And no, I do not have an exhaustive list of defined constants. The 
constants defined by the UNO object model, you can obtain using a macro, 
but I do not think that it is directly related to your question so I 
will not spend time finding the code that does that; but it is in the 
document linked above.


And yes, Pi is a defined constant in LO Basic.

Hope this helped at least a little.

Hi!

I have done some searching and finally I found this at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Constants:

”OpenOffice.org Basic predefines several constants. Among the most 
useful

are:

   - True and False, for Boolean assignment statements
   - PI as a type Double numeric value”

I assume this is true for LibreOffice as well, but I can't find the 
rest of

the ”several constants”.

At work a use Excel (I don't really want to and it's full of bugs, 
but at

least I get paid…) and I wrote some macros in VBA. VBA has a lot of
predefined constants, for instance vbNewLine and a lot more, and I'm 
now
trying to find out what constants are available in LibreOffice Basic, 
since
LibreOffice is what I use exclusively at home, so I don't have to 
reinvent

the wheel.

So a link to a list of ALL predefined Basic constants would be very
appreciated.

Kind regards
