[Solved] Load corrupted Writer document without confirmation

[_savage]

Hi, when I load a document in Writer I get this message:

oo.jpg (54.32 KiB) Viewed 2897 times

I can click “Yes” and proceed loading, although some text of the loaded document is somewhat scrambled. Word loads the document equally scrambled but without complaints.

I’d like to proceed programmatically when I call loadComponentFromURL, but can’t find the option. I tried RepairPackage but that didn’t work, and loadComponentFromURL() raises an exception.

How would I go about this?

Thank you!
Jens

It seems you are trying to load a damaged .docx file with LibreOffice. Is that correct? What is your overall goal? Do you only need to load this file or are you writing code for a general application?

Well, “damaged” can be argued about because Word loads the file ok. And after clicking “Yes” to proceed the file loads.

What is your overall goal? Do you only need to load this file or are you writing code for a general application?

This is in the context of code running a headless Writer instance, so I’d like this to proceed loading the file — just as if I had clicked “Yes”.

See if that helps: query about SAXexception, especially this one maybe: [Solved] Avoid SAXException dialog with OLE pywin32.

That’s an interesting link, thank you! But turns out that the issue happens on LO 7.5 but not on 24.2 so I upgraded the relevant Docker images
