Please note that if you open these
forms
from the web archive they will need
the
filename extensions changing to .odt
Also, if you have unix/linux you'll need
to
change the target filepath/url for the
submission
and the same change for the linked file of
the
readonly form. At present both point
to
file:///c:/invoice.xml so they could be
changed
to something like file:///home/invoice.xml (not
quite sure if this is correct).
It should be possible to create a simple UBL
1.0
Invoice with one form (saved locally) then
use
the other form to read it (from where it is
saved)
and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and
Star
Office 8 have this facility). Then either or
both
as appropriate could be sent say by email
(for
micro/small businesses this might be OK -
please
don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments
and/or
imported somehow into a finance system or
spreadsheet (perhaps with an office
product
macro, say). Note that the first form, if used
to
directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8,
produce
a form that can be edited before printing and
this
would be unacceptably risky for sending as
an
Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of
the
forms is at users own risk.
All the best

Subject: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms
(OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice
Folks,
Just in time for the holidays I've
produced
(for 'Open Source Academy' but anyone can
use them if you do so at your own risk)
a
couple of forms, one for input, the other
for
reading and exporting to PDF, to
produce
crude but possible useful UBL 1.0
invoices.
They would probably suit a micro
business
and illustrate the ODF/XForms
combination
used in OpenOffice 2 and StarOffice
8.
Please forgive the ultra-simplicity (there
are
just 10 lines and I couldn't yet find a way
to
not output lines when they are void of
data).
I'd welcome feedback so I can improve
these
(again as part of some open source
work).
I hope the archive can accept the
attachments,
sorry if this doesn't work - please ignore
this
email then and I'll try another way
later.
All the best and happy holidays.
Stephen Green
