py3o.renderers.juno 0.3

A Java based driver for py3o

Juno for py3o

py3o.renderers.juno is a Java driver for py3o to transform an OpenOffice document into a PDF

Prerequisites

Since this is a Java implementation you will need to install jpype and to have a recent Java runtime on the rendering machine. You will also need a running OpenOffice instance. (If you are on windows this can be addressed by using the py3o.renderserver Open Office service.)

This has been tested to build correctly with:

• Oracle JDK 1.6 and OpenOffice 3.2.1 on Windows 7 and Windows server 2003

• Oracle JDK 1.6 and LibreOffice 3.4 on Windows 7 64bit

• OpenJDK and LibreOffice 3.4 on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL 5)

Usage

from py3o.renderers.juno import start_jvm, Convertor, formats
import datetime

# first arg is the jvm.so or .dll
# second arg is the basedir where we can find the basis3.3/program/classes/unoil.jar
# third argument it the ure basedir where we can find ure/share/java/*.jar containing
# java_uno.jar, juh.jar, jurt.jar, unoloader.jar
# fourth argument is the max memory you want to give to the JVM
start_jvm(
        "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so",
        "/usr/lib64/libreoffice",
        "/usr/lib",
        "3.3",
        140)
c = Convertor("127.0.0.1", "8997")

t1 = datetime.datetime.now()
c.convert("py3o_example.odt", "py3o_example.pdf", formats['PDF'])
t2 = datetime.datetime.now()
