[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMREPORTS-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] alberto Gori commented on SEAMREPORTS-10: ----------------------------------------- In the meanwhile I collected some more resources: I found a couple of intersting libraries for ODF manipulation: http://jodreports.sourceforge.net/ jodreports is able to manipulate an open office template. It uses freemarker to iterate, replace variables, etc. It seems to have some limitation: it can't merge template for example, and it can't convert natively the document to PDF. PDF convertion is done throught another library named JODConvert (http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter), but it still rely on open office as a service. Note that using Openoffice as a service only for PDF export is better then using open office for template manipulation (I think OO is slower and less reliable). http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Odf4j ODF toolkit for Java seems very interesting! Repect to Jodreports it seems to be more powerfull (look at this comment from Jodreport team: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/jodreports/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27#p109) and it still doesn't need an OO istance as a service. Anyway for the PDF part you still need OO (you could use JODConvert that uses OO...) Finally I discovered that ODF is a zipped collection of XML resources, so not so hard to manipulate... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

The only thing I regret is the need of running open office as a service. Maybe an alternative should be generating Microsoft Word´s DOCX format, as they are a zipped XML. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMREPORTS-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] alberto Gori commented on SEAMREPORTS-10: ----------------------------------------- An interesting thing of docx4j, except from supporting docx format, is that it can export to PDF without requiring an installation of Microsoft Office. Looking at documentation it seems to do the job throught FOP. So, what about doing the same for ODF? This project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/office2fo/) is able to transform ODF files to FO format (thanks to XSLT). At this point Seam Reports could transform FO to PDF (thourght FOP or some other commercial library). I don't know if the whole process is reliable...and if it works well for every ODF file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
