Hello, and thank you in advance for your assistance.
I'm moving a small US-based non-profit office serving
the healthcare industry from Microsoft to open source
solutions. So far OpenOffice is a big part of it, and
the users are pleased!
In order to comply with HIPAA regulations, we need to
encrypt all documents containing personally
identifiable information. One easy way is to create
the document, then use the File|Export to PDF feature
in OO, and assign a password, which is then attached
to a plain text, non-descript eMail.
To make it super-easy for the users, I thought I'd
create a macro for the saving to a central location
and encrypting the PDF bits.
And that's when the trouble started...
I cannot get the macro to record any of the steps past
opening the Export to PDF dialog box. I've tried using
the mouse as well as keystrokes-only. In both cases,
the dialog box comes up, and that's as far as we get.
I'm hoping someone's already written something like
this that I could borrow and finesse for our use. If
so, please oh please oh please share the code.
Through the macro recording it's not possible to record what the PDF
Export dialog does.
But using macro scripting you can set the properties the way you want.
I use a small macro I wrote for my own use, I posted it here:
http://www.acca-esse.it/dwnld/ooohs/macro/ooo-hs-esporta-pdf-public-0.1.oxt
The file is 5.2 kbyte.
It's not commented or in any case very poorly and in Italian, sorry for
that, but I had to pack it quickly.
The links to get documentation about the available PDF export properties
are there, anyway.
It let you choose among three export flavors, it can be installed as an
extension package, and then the macro can be edited the usual way.
Further inquiries can better be served on the [email protected] list.
For any question please feel free to ask on that list.
