I want to go through a MS Word document page by page and generate images of all pages. I am stuck in the very beginning. Although I can compute total number of pages I cannot get the content of say page 1 into selection object.
I want something like
select page 1 of active document
or
set myRange to create range active document page 1
or
create range active document start (start of page 1) end (end of page 1)
Of course I have the page count and I want to loop on it and generate images page by page but please help me first to get page content into a selection object so that I can proceed.
If anybody has some other idea of accomplishing the job them I am all for it.
I have solved it.
The steps are.
Convert word document to pdf through apple script.
Make a work flow in automater to render pdf as images.
Call the word flow through shell command from apple script.
I will make a tutorial in few days and post some where.

I'm trying to use the data scraping wizard in UiPath to get the details of books from pages 11 to 20, after applying filters, and input them in an Excel file. I've tried putting the data scraping activity in a loop, I've tried using a counter for the selector of the page, but none of them worked. Can anyone help?
url of book store
First of all you need to navigate on the start page (for example page 11) and set the scraping data on a single page.
Instead to select the next button in the data scraping wizard you leave the scraping for only one page.
Then you could loop these previous steps in a "for each" or "while" where you change dinamically the navigation path and attach browser element.
The loop could start dinamically from a integer counter (from 11 to 20).
I want to navigate in pdf file but I don't have page number or exact offset position because data is not in fixed amount. Data is in structured form.
I want like this: http://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/pdf/sample-link_1.pdf#appendix-a
Click on Text" Purchasing Assistance " and goto target position.
This link has ID #appendix-a not page number.
Please give solution. Thanks...
I found this script by accident: http://lorempixel.com/250/250/business/?a=7
But I have zero idea how it works. There is nothings in the code. If I try to save the page I only get the image save pop up. Can someone give me a hint, because this is absolutely fantastic!
In the code I found this line:
img ...(some crapy css styles)... src="http://lorempixel.com/250/250/business/?a=7"
So, how it works:
You choose a size and category of pictures (adress shows that you are navigating to folders "250", "250" and then "businnes", I guess the numbers stand for the size.
Then, in this folder, lays a script that returns an image, you are passing parameter "7" into it, it can stand for a visitor ID, or it just represents some seed for the generator.
The script generates some random number and returns image associated with this number (you can imagine there's a 1000 of JPEGs named 1.jpg, 2.jpg and so on). Alternatively, it asks some search engine for pictures that matches those criteria (size, category) and returns them (again, "show me picture numer x after searching for business category and certain size").
Thing that can be confusing tho is, even refreshing the page with the same parameter (in this case 7), causes the page to load different pictures. Perhabs it remembers recently shown pictures for a specified IP number or something that identificates you (f.e. session ID stored in a cookie) and prevents the page from loading the same pictures), or the randomizing algorithim can be built in a way that it's very unprobable to get the same outcome even with the same seed or parameter (imagine you are adding numbers of miliseconds from now since last Monday, it constantly changes, right?).
you can have an array of image names perhaps. Each time you open the page, a random number from 0 to size of the array is generated. And the display the page with the name in the element of the array, with the random index?
say you have an array with 3 names: pic1.png pic2.jpg pic3.gif.
have a var pic=array[Math.floor(3*Math.random())];
and a img src=pic;
I have a report with page variable implemented to display current/total page numbers for each customer. I have another requirement - Display a list of customer names and the respective page numbers contained in the report on the last page of the report(such as Company A - 3 pages, Company B - 4 pages).
It has to be proper looking with border lines.
I was able to implement the page variable by simply borrowing the code I've found on the Internet, but have no idea how to display the contents(customer names and page numbers) as a list at the end of the report.
Would someone help me to accomplish this requirement?
I don't think this is possible with BIRT.
In similar cases, and only for the special case of PDF output, we are using a post-processing approach, but it requires Java programming:
First, we let BIRT generate Table-of-Content entries ("outline" in PDF speech) for the companies.
The second-step is post-processing: we read the PDF using iText and examine the TOC. That way we get the information about which company starts at which page number. Together with the total page number it is easy to compute how many pages each company takes.
Then iText can generate and add a visible TOC (as you described) to the PDF.
I have a document, in which there is a page, that flows. I don't know till how many pages the table is going to flow. Now, I need a barcode to be displayed in the last page (last flow page). I tried writing the rules, by using
SYS_Page_PrintedValue = SYS_Page_TotalPrinted,
also tried SYS_PageInDocument = SYS_PageTotalInDocument
and then I have tried SYS_Page_PhysicalInDocument = SYS_PageTotalPhysicalInDocument.
But did not work. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
By placing the Barcode relative to the bottom of your table, as the table flows it will therefore always be on the last page.
You can place barcode directly on the flow page under the flow frame and set that page as last flow page.
