New PDF Options being Ignored - ie FirstPagOnLeft, PageLayout, IsSkipEmptyPages

Has anyone had any success using the "New" pdf
properties programmatically? 

I can't find much documenation, so I tried to use
XStore and pass in the properies, but they seem to be
ignored.

I am using 2.0.3+ (build OOD680_m1)

Here is basically what I am doing:

XStorable xStore = ( XStorable )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XStorable.class, document
);
xStore.storeToURL( normaliseFileURL(
file.getAbsolutePath() ), properties );

####### Properties ########
pdfProperty[ 0 ] = new PropertyValue();
pdfProperty[ 0 ].Name = "FilterName"; 
pdfProperty[ 0 ].Value = "writer_pdf_Export"; 

pdfProperty[ 1 ] = new PropertyValue();
pdfProperty[ 1 ].Name = "Overwrite"; 
pdfProperty[ 1 ].Value = new Boolean( overwrite );

pdfProperty[ 2 ] = new PropertyValue();
pdfProperty[ 2 ].Name = "FirstPageOnLeft"; 
pdfProperty[ 2 ].Value = Boolean.TRUE;

pdfProperty[ 3 ] = new PropertyValue();
pdfProperty[ 3 ].Name = "UseTaggedPDF"; 
pdfProperty[ 3 ].Value = new Integer(3);

any help would be grand.

This one:

http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/pdf_export
/PDFExportDialog.odt

is the main spec, updated July, 31st, and this attachement
to issue 67578,

http://www.openoffice.
org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/37895/draft-doc-pdf-secu
rity.odt

where I added some documentation not in spec document,
especially
filter parameters related to security. These are waiting to
be
embedded in more "well dressed" documentation.

I didn't check your code, but the following basic code
fragments is
what I worked with:

/'codestart

Function MkPropVal( Optional cName As String, Optional
uValue ) As
com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
	Dim oPropertyValue As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
	If Not IsMissing( cName ) Then
		oPropertyValue.Name = cName
	EndIf
	If Not IsMissing( uValue ) Then
		oPropertyValue.Value = uValue
	EndIf
	MkPropVal() = oPropertyValue
End Function

Sub DoExport
' now export it
	oExpOptions = Array(_
			MkPropVal( "FilterName",
"writer_pdf_Export" ),_
			MkPropVal( "FilterData",  oExpFilterOptions
)_
			)

	oDoc = ThisComponent
	aURL = oDoc.getLocation()
	aURL = aURL + "-macro.pdf" ' add a pdf file
type
' Save the document in the new destination format.
	oDoc.storeToURL( aURL, oExpOptions )
end sub

Sub CheckPDFFilterProperties()
' test the filter properties, using the current document as
document
' to export
' prepare export filter options, specify only the different
from default
' if the options is not specified the application default
will be used
' if no filter option is given (e.g. no FilterData
property), the last
user setting will be used
' see spec for details
' to test: get the name from the specification (or manual
?)
' from their name build a property array
' check the value of any of them and see in acro reader how
they behave
' the following is a test setting
	oExpFilterOptions = Array(_
		MkPropVal( "InitialView", 0 ),_
		MkPropVal( "PageLayout",  0 ),_
		MkPropVal( "UseTaggedPDF",  False ),_
		MkPropVal( "EncryptFile",  True ),_
		MkPropVal( "DocumentOpenPassword", 
"open" ),_
		MkPropVal( "RestrictPermissions", True ),_
		MkPropVal( "PermissionPassword", 
"permission" ),_
		MkPropVal( "Printing",  24 ),_
		MkPropVal( "Changes", 4  ),_
		MkPropVal( "EnableCopyingOfContent",  True ),_
		MkPropVal(
"EnableTextAccessForAccessibilityTools", True 
)_
		)
	DoExport
End Sub

Sub Main
CheckPDFFilterProperties

'the following four call are for text
'SecPDFCase1
'SecPDFCase2
'SecPDFCase3
SecPDFCase4

'WriteSecDefault
End Sub



'/=====code end

I think you have to trim it a little, because it's a not
very clean code.

Hope it helped,
