I guess I'll have to run some tests - with 20seconds per conversion, I would definitely need some concurrency. >> Whilst I've got your attention - how do you cope with soffice >> detaching itself at startup?

I see soffice immediately detach itself and continue running in the background. This is with OO 2.4.0. I'm running the pdf conversions from within a Makefile, and I can't let the make continue until I know that the PDF has been successfully created ... > OTOH I can't remember > what.... the macro I'm using is just: > This is my macro: http://jessen.ch/files/export2pdf [snip] > oDoc.close( True ) > End Sub > > and the php wrapper code stuff certainly doesn't do any > wait-for-completion loops. > > Oh, hang on - isn't that last 'True' arg to the close() to say > "synchronous please"? > > Could that be the problem? I just do a doc.dispose() - I'll try the close(True) instead, but I can't see how it would prevent the detach which seems to happen _before_ everything else. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
