<title>Overview</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>HPBF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the
|
|
Publisher file format.</p>
|
|
<p>Currently, HPBF is in an early stage, whilst we try to
|
|
figure out the file format. So far, we have basic text
|
|
extraction support, and are able to read some parts within
|
|
the file. Writing is not yet supported, as we are unable
|
|
to make sense of the Contents stream, which we think has
|
|
lots of offsets to other parts of the file.</p>
|
|
<p>Our initial aim is to provude a text extractor for the format
|
|
(now done), and be able to extract hyperlinks from within
|
|
the document (partly supported). Additional low level
|
|
code to process the file format may follow, if there
|
|
is demand and developer interest warrant it.</p>
|
|
<p>At this time, there is no <em>usermodel</em> api or similar.
|
|
There is only low level support for certain parts of
|
|
the file, but by no means all of it.</p>
|
|
<p>Our current understanding of the file format is documented
|
|
<link href="file-format.html">here</link>.</p>

<note>

|
This code currently lives the
|
|
<link href="http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/poi/trunk/src/scratchpad/">scratchpad area</link>
|
|
of the POI SVN repository.
|
|
Ensure that you have the scratchpad jar or the scratchpad
|
|
build area in your
|
|
classpath before experimenting with this code.
