Long story short, I want to build a system that reorders some components in a document file (be it a docx or odt, I don’t have a hard constraint atm).
So my problem input should be a document file, and I need to be able to approximate the number of pages consumed by this document file, I also need to be able to get the height of individual components (like a single paragraph or a table) to have the data I need to rearrange so I can make the document have less pages.
I don’t have a hard constraint on the programming language of the tool either (Python preferred), I prefer not embedding LibreOffice into my system.
Also I’m willing to hear other solutions (maybe my input is not the optimal thing I can use for this problem).
Thanks in advance!
Use Google Apps Script to open the document in Google Docs, read the number of pages that Google Docs renders, closes the document, then delets the document (optional).
I need to automate the process to use it during an algorithm, this is far from practical.
My suggestion was to automate the process using Google Apps Script using an algorithm. You’ve not given a lot of details about what you actually want to do but for what you did give, Google Apps Script would let you automate the task.
