Is there any way to print a document into the PocketMod booklet layout? 

Here is more information on pocketmod...
http://www.pocketmod.com

And folding instructions that show the layout needed:
http://www.pocketmod.com/howto/

The layout photo above would probably be more clear if B and F (standing
for back and front) were Numbered 1 and 8 respectively. But you get the
idea.

I can figure out how to get 8 up on a page, but not to have the order and
orientation be as it is shown above.

Any thoughts? Could a plug-in do this?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Problem in PDF export with SMP 1 characters

2012-04-23 Thread marc

Is there a chance anyone knows why PDF export does not operate correctly with
SMP1 characters, or simply confirms the problem and gives a hint how I can
report it and have it solved? Thanks.


marc wrote
 
 Unicode characters pertaining to Supplementary Multilingual Plane 1 (i.e.
 with code point greater than 0x) do not show correctly in a PDF
 exported by Writer (and possibly other LO components). I didn't find any
 sensible indication in the Web that this problem was already known. Has
 anyone a clue how to solve that? Thanks in advance.

If you happen to use Linux, you can use psutils (psnup and psbook) to print 
such nice booklets. According to Google, there seems to be also a Windows 
version, but I did not try it.

If it can be done with LibreOffice, I don't know. But you can export to pdf 
and than print with Acrobat Reader (at least I think it's possible).

What is a PocketMod booklet ?
What are the page dimensions?

Are you asking about a package/extension that will print out multiple 
sheets that have two pages on each side of a duplexed sheet of paper, 
and printing the document where the pages will have the proper placement 
if you printed out the document, staples it, and fold it over?


How many pages or page faces are you printing?  10, 20, 30?

I just printed a 34 page document to the CUPs-PDF driver [instead of 
export to PDF].  I checked the brochure option and it printed out the 
pages in the proper order for printing a stack and folding it after you 
place a staple in it.


It seemed to print out the pages in the correct order.

SO, if you want 4 face pages per sheet, 2 pages per side of the sheet, 
then you the brochure option in Page Layout.  It works for me.

Simply to pass a path to an application (a filename, for instance) and
launch that application.

For instance, If one had a database of images, at various locations,  a
click of the mouse (say on an icon provided in the search result form next
to the image name) could launch photoshop with the path/filename of the
image file and photoshop would load the image ready for editing. LO base
provides the search mechanism, photoshop provides the editing features.

I don't know why someone wouldn't want this feature. I've used this in
filemaker and it has been a great time saver.

Ah, you mean clickable links in Base that might actually do something
useful ;-)

Well, you won't find anything out of the box, you would have to code it
using a script, e.g. LO Basic. use cURL to take the name of the file
then pass it to the shell command - I had read somewhere a while ago
though that this didn't actually work anymore. Anyway you're going to
have to experiment with Basic or some other supported scripting language
if you want to do that.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Printint to PocketMod layout

  What is a PocketMod booklet ?
  What are the page dimensions?

If you click on this link (from the original post) the photo will show 
the layout far better than I could possibly explain.

http://www.pocketmod.com/howto/

In case you don't have access to the internet, the lay out is this: 
Eight pages, on one side of the sheet. The sheet is in landscape, but 
the pages are portrait. Nothing is on the back of the sheet. Going 
clockwise from the top left page the order is: 5, 6, B, F, (then upside 
down) 1, 2, 3, 4. F is the front cover and B is the back cover.

I think it is best just to look at the link to see the photo. When the 
book is folded the reverse side of the sheet is completely inside the book.

You may also want to watch this video on how to fold: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAb31rIeGZo

  sheets that have two pages on each side of a duplexed sheet of paper,
  and printing the document where the pages will have the proper placement

Well, yes I would like an extension, but not two per side as you 
explain. I would like the layout shown in the link.

Yes, but it will not give the order and orientation in the PocketMod style.

As I said, I don't see a type for URL other than text. But, it looks like
I could implement a macro or I also see there is some sort of python link in
OL. I don't know much about how to write OL macros, but on briefly looking,
it looks like it is too hard.

Anyone know if python integration is supported well?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

I never have seen something like this, except a card you make by folding 
the paper in half and half again.  Never seen an 8 face folded booklet 
before.  The up-side-down 4 sections is the hard part.  I do not think 
an extension would be easy to create to do this formatting and text 
rotation.


Can you do it with Legal size paper?  That would give you a larger face 
page for each section.


[easiest solution - I can think of]
Now that I see the image from the URL,  I would use a 3 stage printing.  
That is the easiest way I can think of.


   1]
   I would take a landscape page and make the bottom margin at the 5.75
   inch mark and then make the top, and side margin  1/4 inch.  Then I
   would use the FormatPageColumns option to create 4 columns and
   make the space between columns 1/2 inch [double the margin width if
   you cannot do 1/4 inch margins].

   2]
   Then I would print out the document one page at a time.  Print the
   top 1-4 sections.

   3]
   Then I would realign the paper in the printer so sections 5-6, B, F
   would print out.

That may be the easiest was to do this.  There are other ways, like 
frames with text rotated, etc., but if all you need is a printer run and 
not a PDF copy of the sheet, then this would be the best.


[creating a PDF form that printout]

   If you needed a PDF sheet, then you would take the printed sheet and
   scan it in as an image and insert that image into a page with Draw
   or Writer, then export it to PDF.

[libreoffice-users] Windows - Lost my new file entries

2012-04-23 Thread Nils Jeppe


Hi Guys,

Got a small semi-cosmetic issue, and I have absolutely no idea how it 
happened. I did have OOo installed, and deinstalled while I kept LO, and 
I noticed this afterwards - no clue if that's got something to do with it.


Anyway, I am a big user of the right-click - New - (File type) 
functionality in Windows. However, my LO/OOo entries disappeared completely.


Since I have no idea how it happened, I figured simply re-installing LO 
should do the trick.


Now I have entries for presentation and Drawing - in german - but not 
for the others.


Is there any easy way to fix this without a lot of manual registry work?


Thanks  Best wishes
Nils

Hallo Andreas,

thank you for your short practical guide how to use a .dbf for serial
letters.
I spent a lot of time fiddling around reading books etc. and couldnt come
up

never understood what .odb is for: Its a simple container for a table etc.

so long

Walther

Walter, I think you refer to another topic:
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/database-td3926217i20.html#a3928210
This mail belongs to thread Problems importing an OO database into LO by
ptoye

I'm sorry to disagree. Except for the embedded HSQLDB type of database,
Bases files do not contain any tables.
You always _connect_ some Base file to some database, spreadsheet, csv file,
to the address book of some email application. Then you can see the tables
of the connected data source. The tables are in some other file or
directory. In case of dBase you connect a Base document to a directory of
.dbf files. When you edit the data in the Base document or in Writer's data
source window, the connected .dbf file(s) will be modified, the Base
document remains untouched.
Normally you create the data source with some other software and connect a
Base document to it in order to user these data in office documents. The
status bar indicates the type and the location of the connected data source.
When Base creates a new database with new tables from scratch, the .odb file
carries the data source in the .odb. The status bar shows embedded HSQLDB.
This topic deals with this embedded HSQLDB, why it should not be used
(except for demos and learning stuff), how to get such a database out of the
.odb so it can be used as an external database with better database
software, why Base never reached the status of a mature database
application, why it is extremely useful anyway, how to use Base in in other
ways than documented ...

[libreoffice-users] [3.5.2.2 localc] Leaving blank space in a stock chart?

2012-04-23 Thread walt

Hi list.

The upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 caused a major PITA for me because of a 
regression (IMO) in the chart2 module,  I'm looking for a workaround.

I leave a few extra empty spots at the end of stock charts because
every day I add today's data at the end of the spreadsheet, and I
don't want to edit the Data Range every day just to make today's
data visible on the chart.  That gets old really fast.

So, first, is there an easier way to do the same thing?  If not,
I'd like to change the behavior of the chart2 code to allow the
blank space at the end of the chart, the way 3.4.x did.

I've grepped through the chart2 code of both versions, trying to
spot where the change occurred, but so far I'm missing it.

Any hints would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printint to PocketMod layout



May I ask what you are you doing that needs this type of printed 
document?  I never saw that type of printed document before, so it would 
be nice to know what you are using it for.


As I stated earlier, the printing half of the pages at a time, is the 
only easy way to do what you need without some type of external 
package or extension.


Since the PocketMod layout seems to be a specific Patent Pending style 
of booklet.  The possible rarity of that format and the Patent 
Pending issue might make it very hard to support the decision to create 
an extension or external package filter.

I am using it to create booklets like the ones that appear on this site:
http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/rosary-booklets.html
Although the ones I am making are for Buddhist practice, not Catholic.

It is actually very popular with people who are using an analog form of
the GTD(Getting Things Done) method. And if you are into DIY publishing,
they are rather nifty.

As I stated earlier, the printing half of the pages at a time, is the
only easy way to do what you need without some type of external
package or extension.
Thank you. I realize that I could do exactly what I want if I used desk
top publishing software. But it seems so close to being possible in
LibreOffice, I thought I would ask.
Since the PocketMod layout seems to be a specific Patent Pending style
of booklet. The possible rarity of that format and the Patent

It's hard to imagine that it will be possible to patent a way of folding
a piece of paper into a booklet.

Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions.

 Hi All,

 I  seek for a method to have the
 particular code required for converting documents into PDF and invoke
 only the methods that do the actual conversion.


LO is free (LGPL) software; you should study the source code.

Is your java program going to be released under GPLv3?

[libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Printed copy of LO 3.4 Getting Started guide now available

Printed copy of LibreOffice 3.4 Getting Started guide is now available

If you would like a printed copy of this book, now is a good time to
buy, because Lulu.com is having a sale. Between now and Friday 27
April 2012 at 11:59 pm (in some US time zone), the Lulu.com homepage
will have the name of a savings coupon that you can add to your cart
to save on the cost of this book -- or any other book at Lulu.com.

I'll be blogging this and updating the wiki page, but I wanted to get
this info out quickly.

Thanks Jean.

I checked the web site and Lulu states it is currently $19.36, which is 
30% off.


Also, I like the cover design.

Any idea when the Writer's Guide will be ready at Lulu?  The Writer's 
Guide Full Book was created on April 5th, but the Getting Started 
Guide Full Book was dated April 22nd.  So GS went to Lulu the same day, 
but WG has been out for over 2 weeks, but no listing on the Wiki for the 
link for the 3.4.x Lulu print-on-demand service.


I like that fact that the Getting Started and the Writer's Guides are 
based on 3.4.6.  That is the version I use.  Impress chapters now had a 
version number along with the date.  Chapters 1-5 state v3.4, while 
6-8 show v3.5, with 9-11 and A having no updated listed on the Wiki 
page yet.  I wonder how the documentation people with state these 
chapters are deal with 3.4.x and these deal with 3.5.x?


Oh well, it is their problem, not mine.

Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.5.2 Release Notes

 The release notes link on the download page just
 provides some installation notes and says there are many exciting new
 features, but it would be nice to see a list of the differences between
 3.5.1 and 3.5.2.

There are many exciting new features in LO 3.5 (in comparison with 3.4), not 
in 3.5.2 (in comparison with 3.5.1). So called dot releases (when only third 
number in version number changes) are bugfix releases, which means that only 
bugs found in previous version(s) are fixed, but no new features are 
introduced. If your LO crashed, then you definitely should upgrade. On the 
other hand, if your LO was rock-solid, then perhaps you won't see much 
difference after upgrade (but you should do it anyway ;) ).

You can read a bit about LO release cycle on the wiki, although you may find it 
quite technical:

May I ask what you are you doing that needs this type of printed
document? I never saw that type of printed document before, so it would
be nice to know what you are using it for.

I am using it to create booklets like the ones that appear on this site:
http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/rosary-booklets.html
Although the ones I am making are for Buddhist practice, not Catholic.

It is actually very popular with people who are using an analog form of
the GTD(Getting Things Done) method. And if you are into DIY publishing,
they are rather nifty.

As I stated earlier, the printing half of the pages at a time, is the
only easy way to do what you need without some type of external
package or extension.

Thank you. I realize that I could do exactly what I want if I used desk
top publishing software. But it seems so close to being possible in
LibreOffice, I thought I would ask.

Since the PocketMod layout seems to be a specific Patent Pending style
of booklet. The possible rarity of that format and the Patent
Pending issue might make it very hard to support the decision to create
an extension or external package filter.

It's hard to imagine that it will be possible to patent a way of folding
a piece of paper into a booklet.

Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions.

Hello everyone,

Print as Brochure. For example getting a DIN A6 booklet write with
page size DIN A6 and print with setting Brochure on DIN A5 paper
sheets.

I think booklet is only useful for doing two pages side by side.

and no fastener. It's true that the website I linked to has software to
make this conversion from a PDF, but it's not as flexible as I want and
it seemed like it would be possible in LibreOffice.

Thank you all very sincerely for all the suggestions. You have given me
some things to consider.

Best wishes,

Here is more information on pocketmod...

And folding instructions that show the layout needed:

The layout photo above would probably be more clear if B and F

(standing

get the

idea.

Print as Brochure. For example getting a DIN A6 booklet write with

Do a try, playing with:

Menu/File/Print/General - Pages: 1,2,3,4,7,8,5,6
Menu/File/Print/Pages Layout
- Pages per sheet: custom
pages: 42
- Order: left to right, then down

Oh, good idea with listing the pages in a different order. I would have 
never thought of that. Unfortunately, the second row has to be up-side down.

Thanks.
