Writing .doc in Qt

ivanicy

Hello.

Someone knows how to export the QPrinter contents in .doc?

I could do it in pdf but, I can't do in .doc. Any idea?

Thank you very much

I doubt you can "print" to doc...

@ivanicy
Could you elaborate on what you want to do exactly?

Maybe you just want to write to a Microsoft Word doc file format?

Yes sorry. This code generates a pdf document. I want to do something similar but in .doc to open with Microsoft Word:

if (pdfButtonClicked) {
        QIcon icon(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf_pressed_2.png");
        icon.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf_pressed_2.png"));
        ui->pdfButton->setIcon(icon);

        printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
        printer.setOrientation(QPrinter::Portrait);
        printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);

        QString fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, "Save pdf...", QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(), "PDF (*.pdf)" );
        if (!fileName.isNull())
        {
            printer.setOutputFileName(fileName);
            QImage imagen = screenshot.toImage();
            imagen = imagen.scaled(imagen.width() - 300, imagen.height()-100);
            QPainter painter(&printer);
            QRect rect = painter.viewport();
            rect.setSize(QSize(imagen.width(), imagen.height()));
            QSize size = imagen.size();
            size.scale(rect.size(), Qt::KeepAspectRatio);
            double xscale = printer.pageRect().width() / double(imagen.width()*1.19);
            double yscale = printer.pageRect().height() / double(imagen.height());

            double scale = qMin(xscale, yscale);
            painter.scale(scale, scale);
            painter.translate(150, 200);
            painter.drawImage(0, 0, imagen);
            painter.end();

            QIcon icon(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf.png");
            icon.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf.png"));
            ui->pdfButton->setIcon(icon);
            pdfButtonClicked = false;
            QMessageBox::information(NULL, "Export PDF", "PDF created.", QMessageBox::Ok);
        } else {
            QIcon icon(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf.png");
            icon.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/MainIcons/Resources/pdf.png"));
            ui->pdfButton->setIcon(icon);
            pdfButtonClicked = false;
        }
    }

Thank you very much

@ivanicy
Where do you get the data you want to write in the doc file? What is your starting point?

ivanicy

@Eddy In this moment, the "screenshot" is a QImage which I want to show in .doc file. Later, maybe I will want to add some text under the image. I put the image in the pdf document with "painter.drawImage()" function.

The closest thing is using QTextDocumentWriter

QTextDocument tempDocument;
QTextCursor tempCursor(&tempDocument);
tempCursor.insertImage(imagen);
// Use tempCursor to add text if you want
QTextDocumentWriter writer;
writer.setFormat("odf");
writer.setFileName(fileName);
if(!writer.write(&tempDocument))
qCritical("Save Failed!");

This format is recognised by Libre Office, Open Office and (recent versions of) MS Word

@VRonin Thank you very much. I made a few changes and it worked perfect!
