Add properties to document like: author, title

[giciorek]

Hi,

I generate on the fly documents with the OpenOffice API.
Now I want to add some properties to my doc files as author, title ...

As well this properties should be visible in a PDF that I generated from my doc files with the OpenOffice API.

Any Ideas?

Regards,

giciorek

Quick search of the API on google found this...never used it before but should lead you to the right way http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/r ... rties.html

Ok thanks.

But how to access this properties when I only have the XComponent object?
Can't find any samples.

Why not enter the Author details into your Default template?

In Basic.

Code: Select all

Sub DocInfo
oDoc = ThisComponent
oVC = oDoc.CurrentController.getViewCursor
Info = oDoc.getDocumentInfo
'Other info is available at .getDocumentProperties
oVC.String = Info.Title
oVC.collapseToEnd
oDoc.Text.insertControlCharacter(oVC,0,false)'Paragraph break.
oVC.String = Info.Author
oVC.collapseToEnd 
End Sub
