Hi i want to add line numbering to the opened .docx file before converting it to .pdf and i really didn't find how to do that on code, it is converting my .docx file to pdf but i wanna add line numbering too, am using ActiveXObject with javascript to do that on server
var obj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var docPath = WScript.Arguments(0);
docPath = obj.GetAbsolutePathName(docPath);
var pdfPath = docPath.replace(/\.doc[^.]*$/, ".pdf");
var objWord = null;
try
{
objWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
objWord.Visible = false;
var objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(docPath);
var format = 17;
objDoc.SaveAs(pdfPath, format);
objDoc.Close();
WScript.Echo("Saving '" + docPath + "' as '" + pdfPath + "'...");
}
catch(e){
WScript.Echo(e);
}
finally
{
if (objWord != null)
{
objWord.Quit();
}
}If you want to automate Word but you don't know how to do it in code, start recording a macro, do what you want, then stop recording and review the code. You should be able to figure out what you need from the generated code.
Here's an example of a recorded macro:
Sub Macro1
With Selection.PageSetup
With .LineNumbering
.Active = True
.StartingNumber = 1
.CountBy = 1
.RestartMode = wdRestartContinuous
.DistanceFromText = wdAutoPosition
End With
.Orientation = wdOrientPortrait
.TopMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.RightMargin = InchesToPoints(1)
.Gutter = InchesToPoints(0)
.HeaderDistance = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.FooterDistance = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.PageWidth = InchesToPoints(8.5)
.PageHeight = InchesToPoints(11)
.FirstPageTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
.OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage
.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False
.VerticalAlignment = wdAlignVerticalTop
.SuppressEndnotes = False
.MirrorMargins = False
.TwoPagesOnOne = False
.BookFoldPrinting = False
.BookFoldRevPrinting = False
.BookFoldPrintingSheets = 1
.GutterPos = wdGutterPosLeft
End With
End Sub
Based on that example, I would assume your code would need to include this for line numbers:
objDoc.PageSetup.LineNumbering.Active = true;
