Inset an image into an Open Office Draw document using Basic - openoffice-basic

Question

I am wanting to insert an image into a LibreOffice Draw document using Basic. I create a Draw document and then I add a page to the document and then rename the pages. I want ti insert an image into Page1 and then add another Image to Page2. I have the pages created as I want but I am unable to insert the image into the page. Below is my code
sub InsertImage()
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Page1 as Object
Dim Page2 as Object
Dim DocPath1 as String
DocPath1 = ConvertToURL("MyImage1.jpg")
Dim DocPath2 as String
DocPath2 = ConvertToURL("MyImage2.jpg")
Dim noArgs() 'An empty array for the arguments
Dim sURL As String
sURL = "private:factory/sdraw"
Doc = StarDesktop.LoadComponentFromUrl(sURL, "_blank", 0, noArgs())
Page1 = Doc.DrawPages(0)
Page1.Name = "Image1"
Page2 = Doc.Drawpages.insertNewByIndex(2)
Page2.Name = "Image2"
' Page1.FillStyle = com.sun.star.drawing.FillStyle.BITMAP
' Page1.FillBitmapURL = DocPath1
End sub
I have been reading Andrew Pitonyak's book but unable to find a source for what I am trying to do. FillStyle breaks the code.

I have got the program to work.
I created two pdf's and saved them in a folder. I run the macro MergePDF and the sub opens Draw, creates the two pages, copes the pdf's onto each page. The document is ready to ExportToPDF which is my next task. Draw must be closed for this to work.
sub MergePDF()
Dim Doc As Object 'This workbook
Dim NewWorkBookURL As String
NewWorkBookURL = "private:factory/sdraw"
Dim noArgs() 'An empty array for the arguments
Dim Point As New com.sun.star.awt.Point
Dim Size As New com.sun.star.awt.Size
Point.x = 0
Point.y = 0
'A4
Size.Width = 21000
Size.Height = 29700
Dim Page1 As Object 'Excel sheet
Dim Page2 As Object 'AutoCAD sheet
Dim Image1 As Object 'PDF1
Dim Image2 As Object 'PDF2
Dim DocPath1 As String
Dim DocPath2 As String
Dim DocPath3 As String
DocPath1 = ConvertToURL("C:\Users\pdf1.pdf")
DocPath2 = ConvertToURL("C:\Users\\pdf2.pdf")
Doc = StarDesktop.LoadComponentFromUrl(NewWorkBookURL, "_blank", 0, noArgs())
Page1 = Doc.DrawPages(0)
Page1.Name = "PDF1"
Page2 = Doc.Drawpages.insertNewByIndex(2)
Page2.Name = "PDF2"
'Page 1
Image1 = Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape")
Image1.GraphicURL = DocPath1
Image1.Size = Size
Image1.Position = Point
Page1.add(Image1)
'Page 2
Image2 = Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape")
Image2.GraphicURL = DocPath2
Image2.Size = Size
Image2.Position = Point
Page2.add(Image2)
'ExportToPDF
'To Do
msgbox "Done"
End sub
Very basic but works. Thanks for the other forum members for the advice on the way.
