I need to edit LibreOffice Calc document programmatically in C++. I know that there is odfkit library, which uses webodf, but it looks like it doesn't support editing .ods files.
Is there any alternative that can deliver me this feature?
Libreoffice has API, called UNO, for controlling it from another process. So if you need something more complicated, that would be the simplest route.
If you just need some simple transformation, the other option is to unpack the file with plain old zip library (libzip, libarchive, ...) and modify the XML manually.
The opendocument site also mentions lpOD, but the web seems defunct and while search comes up with something that looks relevant, I am not sure whether there is anything usable.
see the SDK documentation, with many examples

I have a document pdf or docx (only accepted formats for multiturn), this contains alot of subheadings which translate to follow up prompts. This all works fine! But I would like to enable context-only for all of my prompts, because the answers are not relevant out of context.
Can I denote this in my document itself? There are way too many too manually check the button.
I could write a script that changes the contextOnly to true on the exported tsv, but this seems like it is a silly workaround.
There does not seem to be any way to indicate whether a question is context-only through the document extraction process, so you will need to automate this with a script. If you don't want to modify the TSV directly, you can use the QnA REST API. You can also access this API through the Bot Framework CLI but I don't know if that makes anything more convenient for you.
The system I'm working with are receiving PDF documents, inside those documents there are two clickable images. The click events just triggers a http url. The thing is that I need to update those two url:s when I receive the document.
So my question is, is it possible to find the events and change the url and then save the file again? Those two images can be anywhere in the document so I can't look in a specific location.
Edit: I forgot to say that I'm coding in C# so it needs to be a .NET library.
Yes, it's possible.
It's hard to describe the way it can be achieved without knowing how PDFs are constructed (there are a few ways to create the described behavior) and tools you are going to use.
I just want to tell you how I solved this problem, or rather where I found the solution. I used the code in this thread, and it worked like a charm.
I'm new to MODx, but am quite impressed with its power and flexibility. There's only one caveat, and I'm hoping it's just because I don't know any better.
I'm a frontend dev, and I'm used to building websites of all sizes. But I usually work with files and version control. How would I keep this paradigm with MODx?
From my poking around so far, the only way I found to use an IDE, is to keep static files with my code, to later on copy/paste into MODx Manager. Far from ideal.
I'm aware that a lot of people use an "include" snippet, to include snippets, chunks, etc. Does this work for MODx specific tags? For example, if I include a file as a snippet, and I have a template variable defined in there (or a resource link), would that be properly rendered?
Also, is there a performance hit using a snippet by including a file, vs having the snippet code entered into MODx Manager?
Bottom line, how do you develop sites on MODx? Where do you enter your code? Is there a feature like the "Import HTML" but for snippets and chunks? Is there a way to create new Templates, Documents, Chunks, TVs, etc. without going through the Manager?
Thanks in advance!
there is a whole documentation site for developing in modx, http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Home - though it mostly concerns extending it - not customization & modification. The short answer is no, there is no version control for your snippets & such, yes, you will have to maintain them manually. [I wish that was not the case]
Most of your php code will go into either a snippet or a plugin, and yes you can include static files in either of those resource types, no, I on't know if there is a performance gain/loss, but I would imagine "no" if your include is cache-able.
for the includes you can do something like this:
include_once $modx->config['base_path'].'_path_to_my.php_';

There is VersionX for revolution that will allow you version control of chunks, snippets, resources and so on.
There is package called Auditor that will allow you to implement version control in Modx
EDIT
Sorry just noticed your question is tagged Revolution, Auditor is for Evo. I don't think there's a solution available yet although I believe it is on the Roadmap
I want to read an existing PDF file, get not only the text, but also the format information like: Font (Bold, Italic...), and paragraphs... Is there an code library for doing this, is it open source or commercial?
I am on Windows and favor C# libraries, but C/C++ is also acceptable.
I can very much recommend
pdflib (http://www.pdflib.com/).
Its commercial, but it also has a lite version which you can use for free privately. It contains very muach functionality and is available for all plattforms.
I'd echo Mr. Meyers on this. There appear to be a number of them; search for "pdf parser library" (plus your language) in your favorite search engine.
A few top hits:
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
http://metacpan.org/pod/PDF::Parse
http://podofo.sourceforge.net/
http://www.vicman.net/download/13733/ (several for .NET)
Note that if you're wanting to edit an existing PDF, you might want to read this:
http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/faq.php?branch=faq.pdf_in_general&node=replace_word
The Pdfium.Net SDK also can help you. Via this API you can get access to a collection of text, images and other objects and ther properties.
Please note I work at the company who develop this API.
I'd love to ask you how do the guys developing dojo create the documentation?
From nightly builds you can get the uncompressed js files with all the comments, and I'm sure there is some kind documenting script that will generate some html or xml out of it.
I guess they use jsdoc as this can be found in their utils folder, but I have no idea on how to use it. jsDoc toolkit uses different /**commenting**/ notations than the original dojo files.
Thanks for all your help
It's all done with a custom PHP parser and Drupal. If you look in util/docscripts/README and util/jsdoc/INSTALL you can get all the gory details about how to generate the docs.
It's different than jsdoc-toolkit or JSDoc (as youv'e discovered).
FWIW, I'm using jsdoc-toolkit as it's much easier to generate static HTML and there's lots of documentation about the tags on the google code page.
Also, just to be clear, I don't develop dojo itself. I just use it a lot at work.
There are two parts to the "dojo jsdoc" process. There is a parser, written in PHP, which generates xml and/or json of the entirety of listed namespaces (defined in util/docscripts/modules, so you can add your own namespaces. There are basic usage instructions atop the file "generate.php") and a Drupal part called "jsdoc" which installs as a drupal module/plugin/whatever.
The Drupal aspect of it is just Dojo's basic view of this data. A well-crafted XSLT or something to iterate over the json and produce html would work just the same, though neither of these are provided by default (would love a contribution!). I shy away from the Drupal bit myself, though it has been running on api.dojotoolkit.org for some time now.
The doc parser is exposed so that you may use its inspection capabilities to write your own custom output as well. I use it to generate the Komodo .cix code completion in a [rather sloppy] PHP file util/docscripts/makeCix.php, which dumps information as found into an XML doc crafted to match the spec there. This could be modified to generate any kind of output you chose with a little finagling.
The doc syntax is all defined on the style guideline page:
