Hi,
(I am not sure if this should be done with a custom aspect, but I wrote in this forum)
I am trying to do the following:

When an openoffice document(an Impress presentation file) is added to a space, I want to get the slides in it, modify them(for example, add a company logo to each of them), and then copy the new file to another space.

Is this possible?

I am planning to:

- Get the openoffice file when it is put into the space (if the rule is applied to that space) (*)
- Read it into memory with java.util.zip.Zipfile(since the ooo file is actually an archive) and get the contents parsing the XML(I'll use JDOM).
- Modify the document
- Put it into another space (*)

I need help with the Alfresco related steps of this procedure (the ones with a star). I guess I will have to create a custom rule(or an aspect?) but I don't know how. Help will be appreciated.
