py3o.renderers.juno 0.7

Juno for py3o

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

It is intended to be used in conjunction with py3o.renderserver But can be used outside it if you wish.

Note for end-users

If you just search for an easy way to render LibreOffice files to PDF or DOCX, with ot without templating capabilities, you should directly look at py3o.fusion

py3o.fusion is a packaged webservice that lets you send a template, a target format and your data

and will return the resulting file.

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 6 and LibreOffice 3.4 on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL 5)

• OpenJDK 7 and LibreOffice 4.0.4 on Linux (Ubuntu 13.04)

• OpenJDK 7 and LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04)

For example if you are on Ubuntu you should run this command:

$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk

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
# the fourth argument was the openoffice version but is no more used
# fifth argument is the max memory you want to give to the JVM
start_jvm(
        "/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so",
        "/usr/lib/libreoffice",
        "/usr/lib",
        "",
        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()
