I'm currently using documents4j to convert doc/docx files to pdf files. It works great! Thanks for the team!
But there is one problems: when I tried to convert some word files with built-in Macro, the convert will just failed.
I tried to do some debugging with the generated VB script, it seems after open the file, the call to ExportAsFixedFormat fails. Even the call to wordDocument.Close fails either.
Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? Thanks in advance!
documents4j does not execute macros as those can be interactive whereas documents4j runs in a headless mode where such interactions are not possible.

I have a large folder of DWG files and want to convert them to DXF files, using Solid Edge. After opening the documents, is it possible to "Save As" from the command line or powershell?
Is this a program by program line of code or is it universal for all programs?
So if I wanted to save a .docx document open in Microsoft Word as a .pdf (for want of a better example) can I use that same line of code?
Any help appreciated...
Well since you want to convert from one Autocad format to another, you could do it using Autocad's command line.
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-customization-conversion-tools.html?_ga=2.88877275.1703552679.1574826072-7420195.1574826072
This does require you writing all of the scripting of course.
Alternatively, there is this handy scripted mass converter someone wrote using lisp and they wrote a custom script executor wrapper thingy but their scripting supposedly requires the full version of autocat (at least version 2010 to accomplish this.)

That said the official AutocCAD conversion command-line utilities are also going to use LISP scripting, so you might want to just take the second script, and work through it manually testing against the normal AutoCAD utilities until you can get it working for your needs to sort of jump start you.
If you do that I would suggest re-posting with tags for LISP and AutoCAD and give them a sample of what you have got if you end up going the official tools and your own or jump-started script route.
Hope that will be helpful to you and others in the future! :)
As commented beneath my question,
No, it would not be universal
So, no, there is no way of using a single command "save as" on every single program, and as Solid Edge doesn't have a command line API, that I know of, I would have to write a program for it.
Okay, this is probably easy, but I don't know proper words to describe it, and hence, google it...
I have an external script which takes a file name and outputs this:
/path/to/file.py:683:80: E501 line too long (85 characters)
/path/to/file.py:690:21: other error message
..etc..
Now, I know this output format is widely accepted by other, much simple IDEs, e.g. EditPlus. I don't know how to integrate it with Eclipse though.
I want this script integrated with my editor windows. I want Eclipse to run it in the background, every time I save the file, and then parse the results and mark all the lines which occured in the script's output. It should look something like this:
How can I do that?
Note (for those who know why I need this): I know PyDev has a pep8.py checker integrated, but it's not enough.
Ok, so I implemented that plugin myself. I does exactly what I asked for, I guess. I made it configurable with some rude regular expressions.
I posted the code and installation instructions here (GitHub).
Your own plug-in that runs the script and examines its output can create Markers from that output. See http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Mark%20My%20Words/mark-my-words.html .
I'm trying to use MATLAB to fill in textboxes on a webpage in Internet Explorer without typing directly into the URL. Can anyone explain to me how to do this? I'm pretty lost. I really appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks!
While I have seen this done before (i.e. running a MATLAB script that automatically fills in fields in Internet Explorer), to the best of my knowledge, I do not believe that there is an actual MATLAB command to directly interface with IE.
Instead, you can make use of the MATLAB command system to call an external program that actually does the interfacing with IE.
For example, you might be able to make a Visual Basic program that interfaces with IE through the InternetExplorer object. I'm not too familiar with VB, but this doc might help. Once you've created this program, use MATLAB's system command to execute it (passing command-line arguments to define what/how to fill in the textboxes).
Take a look at the doc for system for more info.
I've done it many times with a small program called Autohotkey.
With this program you can write a script, that will move the mouse / click the keyboard. you can pass string arguments and use it inside the script. once done, you can call this script from matlab.
I am using the css_color.vim script with gvim 7.2 on vista. Because of this script I am not able to use omni-completion for css that came with the gvim I installed, which works perfectly fine if I rename the css.vim file to css.vim.bak or something.
I usually open omni-completion drop down using <C-x><C-o>, but with the css.vim, when I hit <C-x>, vim seems to go in a "temporary" normal mode, I dont really know what it is doing, but it is definetely not giving me the omni-completion drop down.
I tried search for <C-x> in the css.vim file but nothing. I dont have much experience with vim scripting, so any help appreciated.
I think I found the answer... Commenting the 3 lines at the bottom of the script seems to fix this. I can now use omni-completion in css files along with this plugin.
For anyone that comes along looking for this later on, these are the lines I commented...
autocmd CursorHold * silent call s:PreviewCSSColorInLine('.')
autocmd CursorHoldI * silent call s:PreviewCSSColorInLine('.')
set ut=100
Couple of ideas.
for your first issue
run
:scriptnames
wtih the script on an off and look for differences. It's possible you've placed the script in the wrong directory or its overriding a system wide file.
Secondly for your , issue. run
:verbose map ,
to find where the , map has been defined. Looking at the css script it's possible these are separate issues
Is it possible to save a form in VBA as .exe file and then run it.
No, not natively.
There are some ways to emulate an EXE:
Excel: 3rd party tool that claims to be able to compile an workbook to an EXE: DoneEx XCell Compiler. You can also create an automatic marco, Auto_Open, to run when the workbook is opened.
Access: Microsoft used to have a way of delivering an Access database as an executable (the name of the tool escapes me) so you could deploy your database to desktops that didn't have Access installed, but I don't think they offer this anymore. You could convert you MDB to an MDE and set the startup properties to hide the database window and menus and such to emulate an EXE, but your users will need to have Access installed.
Word: You can pass the /m switch to Word on startup with the name of a macro to run.
I think there is at least 2 way
move the code into visual basic 6 and compile it or use visual studio tool for office and see what you can do.
if these 2 solutions is a no no for you, then you are out of luck
No. VBA is an addon to applications to support "scripting" in the form of VB.
So unless your application supports a way to save the internal script as en external EXE, you are out of luck.
I think DoneEx still needs Excel installed, it just bootstraps something to the xls file, or bootstraps that to something and wraps it up as an exe???/..
as I think this does.

But at least the second one if free!
I have not tested on PC's with out office.
what is it you are trying to accomplish there may be a work around another way?
thanks
