Normally, a header is a single line. For some documents, part of that single line could be an image (preferably vector).
The document I am playing with, is guaranteed to be composed of 12 or more lines of content in the header (typically as 4 tables on top of each other). All examples I've seen, have the header being less than half a page, but no guarantee on that. Obviously, if the header is more than 1 page long, there is no way to typeset things as the page is too small. I have (effectively) reproduced the document in LaTeX. It is not trivial. The parent documents are .doc. I can get content using various Perl modules, getting structured content doesn't seem to be possible. I can save at least 1 of these documents as ODT. As ODT is nominally all text (if compressed), I thought that perhaps turning a document into a template (by changing specific data into known strings) might work. I suppose people familiar with ODT will not be surprised to hear that I cannot find my known strings in either content.xml or manifest.zip (my hope was it is content.xml). I had loaded up a document into perl using OpenOffice::OODoc, and generated the XPath object. The file is nominally 35kB, getting an almost 8 MB dump of the XPath object wasn't expected. How should a person use an ODT document as a template to produce versions of the document?
