I am using ABCPDF version 10 in an .aspx file, language is VB.
This script receives a URL as an argument, retrieves the URL and converts the contents it receives to PDF. We use this as an internal service for generating reports, invoices, etc.
The requirement has come up to put 2 pages on a sheet, so 2 A5 pages on one landscape A4 page, like a booklet but without the pagination requirements, just 2:1 sequentially.
Here is our current script for standard A4 (excerpt):
Dim footer as String = request("footer")
Dim url as String = request("url")
Dim theDoc As New WebSupergoo.ABCpdf10.Doc()
theDoc.MediaBox.String = "A4"
theDoc.Rect.String = theDoc.MediaBox.String
'theDoc.Rect.Inset(30, 30)
' left, bottom, width, height
theDoc.Rect.SetRect(10,40,575,780)
theDoc.HtmlOptions.Engine = 1
theDoc.HTMLOptions.Timeout = 455000
theDoc.HTMLOptions.AddLinks = False
theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage()
Dim theID As Integer
theID = theDoc.AddImageUrl(url, True, 0, True)
While True
'theDoc.FrameRect() 'enable this to see the rectangle on the PDF, for debugging
If Not theDoc.Chainable(theID) Then
Exit While
End If
theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage()
theID = theDoc.AddImageToChain(theID)
End While
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 To theDoc.PageCount
theDoc.PageNumber = i
theDoc.Flatten()
Next
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get 2 pages on one page of PDF output?
NB - The "pages" are described by using css page-break-after:always in the content, which ABCPDF handles as expected.

Created this very simple code - however guess not too elegant, maybe there are much more logical solutions but me is not a vba expert - which has to copy only visible data ranges from source to data workbook after filtering.
Code is working but the part where has to copy/paste there is a message with run time error 1004 / which shows that copy and paste area are not the same...doesnt understand as made originally a test and worked but with the final files do not...sucking on this for days and cannot solve:/
Further all these details has to be paste without header which I cannot handle however read over many on your page with similar request but cannot find a real solution or doesnt understand:/
Tried with offset but cannot work if simply put it into the rows like this
Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).offset(1.0)
Many thx in advance for your valuable help

I wrote a code to break links to the source excel file for my powerpoint deck, the macro works well except for 2 charts. Both the charts are on the same slide (which is not uncommon) and are line charts. The charts need to be manually updated but the data resides in a excel file only. Not sure what am I missing. This is the code that I wrote
Sub SavePPT()
Dim objPP As Object
Dim objPPFile As Object
Dim sld As Object
Dim shp As Object
Dim shp1 As Chart
Dim newshp As Shape
Dim pptChart As Object
Set objPP = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
objPP.Visible = True
Set objPPFile = objPP.ActivePresentation
objPPFile.Save
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each sld In objPPFile.Slides
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.HasChart Then
shp.LinkFormat.BreakLink
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next
Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each sld In objPPFile.Slides
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Or shp.Type = msoEmbeddedOLEObject Then
shp.LinkFormat.BreakLink
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next
Next
objPPFile.SaveAs ("Location" _ & Format(Now(), "MM-DD-YYYY") & ".pptx")
objPPFile.Close
objPP.Quit
Set pptChart = Nothing
Set objPPFile = Nothing
Set objPP = Nothing
End Sub
The chart might be in a placeholder, in which case none of your code will act upon it. If the shape's .Type = msoPlaceholder (ie, 14), check the shape's .PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType property to see if it's a linkedOleobject or .HasChart etc.
BTW, an msoEmbeddedOLEObject won't have a .LinkFormat object to call on; I suspect you have some error handling code that's obscuring an error there. In any case, I'd limit that check to just msoLinkedOLEObject.
Thanks for you help. I realized it later that those 2 slides have a lot of text boxes on them and when I consolidate some of those textboxes the issue was resolved.
In Writer, I would like to search for some text and when found position the view to the top of the view/window.
Using the following code,
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "SearchItem.SearchString"
args1(0).Value = ":"
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args1())
the view changes and it shows the selection but it is not in any particular place. I want it to be at the top of the window/view.
I've also found elsewhere the use of ThisComponent.currentController.getViewData() and restoreViewData(). So I experimented and determined how to change the data returned in order to get a vertical scroll but nothing happens. For example...
vd = ThisComponent.currentController.getViewData()
vdParts = Split(vd, ";")
vdParts(6) = CLng(vdParts(6)) + 1000
vd = join(vdParts, ";")
ThisComponent.currentController.restoreViewData(vd)
Any suggestions?
PS: I am running version 5.0.5.2 on Windows 7 x64
Spreadsheets have View Panes that can be manipulated, but it does not look like there is a similar interface in Writer.
Instead, use the View Cursor to go down one or two pages, then move back to the location of the search result.
Also, do not use the dispatcher for the search. Use the API instead, like in section 7.14 of Andrew Pitonyak's macro document.
After I did a query in openoffice-base over a customized form I want to transfer a selected set of data into a template openoffice-calc table. I know I can access the data set in openoffice-calc via pressing the Data Source (F4) button but then I only get access over the query. The best solution would be after the database query over a form a button event is required to open a openoffice-calc table from the template and insert the data from the data set.
First go to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> LibreOffice Basic and add this code. Change the path of the template file.
Sub Copy_Record_To_Calc(oEvent)
Dim oForm
Dim templatePath As String
Dim oServiceManager As Object, oDesktop As Object
Dim oFileProperties As Object
Dim oDoc As Object, oSheet As Object, oCell As Object
Dim column As Integer
oForm = oEvent.Source.getModel().getParent()
If oForm.isAfterLast() Then
Print "Hey, you are after the last element."
Exit Sub
ElseIf oForm.isBeforeFirst() Then
Print "Hey, you are before the first element."
Exit Sub
End If
templatePath = "file:///C:/Users/JimStandard/Desktop/Untitled 2.ots"
Set oServiceManager = CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager")
Set oDesktop = oServiceManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
Set oFileProperties(0) = new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oFileProperties(0).Name = "AsTemplate"
oFileProperties(0).Value = True
Set oDoc = oDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( _
templatePath, "_blank", 0, Array(oFileProperties))
oSheet = oDoc.Sheets(0)
For column = 1 to 2
oCell = oSheet.getCellByPosition(column - 1, 0)
oCell.String = oForm.getString(column)
Next column
End Sub
Then in form design mode, right-click on the button and choose Control. In the Events tab, click the three dots next to Execute action. Click Macro... and find the Copy_Record_To_Calc macro that you added.
Now turn design mode off. Go to a record and click the button. It will open the Calc template and copy the first two columns of the current record into column A and B of the spreadsheet.

I am new to batch script, please suggest what to do with the following question.
I want to load a web page, then print 2 copies of the webpage to a printer using batch/VB script.
Thanks.
Here is a vbscript that will do it. Change the site variable to whatever site you want to print.
