Another solution is that you could start a generic library for handling formatted text documents. It will certainly be harder, and take more time, but the end result will be much better and it won't require having OpenOffice installed (a rather huge thing to have as a dependency).
We already have a spreadsheet library: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPSpreadsheet Something similar could be done for handling the class of formatted documents, like pdf, doc, html, etc. FPVectorial has support for PDF reading, but only from a vectorial drawing point of view, nevertheless it's code and documentation which explain the PDF format could be reused. I actually have documentation in portuguese about the PDF format. http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpvectorial -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
