[Solved] Check if a document contains tables or images

[elu]

Given a document, is there a way to parse through it and determine if it contains tables or images?

Might be a easy question, but just need a general direction to head towards.

Thanks!

Getting a count of tables is easy. It is also easy to get a count of objects on the "DrawPage" of the document. These could be images or shapes, or, I suppose, other non-text content.

Code: Select all

oTables = ThisComponent.TextTables
print "Tables: ", oTables.Count

oDP = ThisComponent.DrawPage
print "Drawpage objects: ", oDP.Count

Also objects inserted as TextContent, OLE objects and TextFrames e.g. in addition to graphical Shapes are mostly gathered to the DrawPage. The only exceptions I know of are Paragraphs and TextTables.

Please point me to additional exceptions.

If I remember correctly (no time to look it up) Andrew Pitonyak gives such a document analysis macro in his book.

Hello,

There is a dedicated method for images: getGraphicObjects.

Code: Select all

oImages = ThisComponent.GraphicObjects
print "Images: ", oImages.Count
