[libreoffice-users] export to pdf with frozen row

2022-04-22 Thread James

I froze the first row so it shows up as a header on each page.
When I export it to pdf I want it to show up as the first row of each page.
Can I do that?

What investigation have you done? Why do you think the problem is with
LO rather than with mojolicious or somewhere in between?

Also, what is runcmd()?

Steps I would be thinking of trying:
(1) add debugging prints to the mojolicious code so you can see exactly
what arguments are passed on each occasion
(2) for some case where the problem occurs run LO directly from the
command line with the same arguments and see if the problem occurs

Does not work; which per the documentation 'makes sense'. 'No sound' is the
choice on the second slide, but the music cuts off. But my goal of the
music spanning slides, does not seem that doable.

Which is fine.

Looks like my options are to dive into Blender for what I want to
accomplish.

Cheers,

Michael

[libreoffice-users] libreoffice grabs network port

2022-04-22 Thread Mike Scott

Hi all. A bit of a saga for me.

I'm using LO headless from within a web server.

The server is the perl-based mojolicious, and calls LO do do some file 
conversions from .odt to .doc and pdf.


LO is called like:
runcmd( 'soffice', '--headless', '--convert-to', $filter, '--outdir', 
$outdir, $odtfile );


followed by a call to mojo's render() stuff to pass the file to the user.

Which often works.

But (with varying frequency) LO seems to grab the web server's port 
somehow and sets up its own listen on it. This somewhat damages the web 
link :-| I've seen multiple copies of soffice and oosplash listening on 
the same port (a high-numbered, obscure one). I can't even see how this 
is possible



The question is, why does it do this, and how do I stop it?

TIA.



Linux mint, btw, ooo 6.4.7.2

Hi Mike,

I'm using LO 6.4.7.2 on UbuntuStudio 20.04 LTS and your --headless 
command line instruction works and produces a pdf file which passed 
the pdfinfo check with flying colours. I just rechecked to make 
sure.   So maybe your problem is distro related?


Thanks for your reply. Interesting to know it works for someone else 
I'll do a bit more checking on what's going on here.




The issue seems to come and go depending obscurely on the exact file: 
I'm currently using a workaround.


There are worse problems though. I'll start a new thread.
