Reference renderings

Is there some way I can convert 100s of Word DOC test files
to PDF via
OO with some API or macro? I don't want to do it by hand.

I think this can, though I haven't tried:
h
ttp://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html


I am assuming the OO generated PDF version has the same
rendering on
screen with OO.

Has someone done something like this already? Is PDF an
appropriate
strategy? I noticed MS Office '97 (beta) has this Microsoft
document
imaging format (mdi). Older MS Office versions I think can
export to
TIFF: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP0
62193601033.aspx

Though I don't think TIFF/mdi export is possible with OO.


Is there a collection of Word DOC tests with their
references like this
somewhere?


I aim to compare a Work'97 PDF to a OO PDF side-by-side of
the same Word
DOC to see if there are rendering issues for QA. Perhaps
I'll convert
the PDFs again to JPEG for some sort of rough image/visual
diff.


Best wishes,

I do not recall MSO97 being able to generate PDFs so I would
guess you
intend to use Acrobat.  This may not produce a fair
comparison as
Acrobat is one of Adobe's flagship products and contains
many
proprietary enhancements that are not in the public API.

Nonetheless, you might find
h
ttp://documentation.openoffice.org/thirdparty.html and
take the
ooomacros link and look for Danny Brewers "Document
Converter"
