Re: [libreoffice-users] export to pdf via macro

Hi :)

There are usually 3 ways to make a document into pdf.
1. File - "Save As ..."

2. File - "Export to pdf"
3. Print - to file - pdf (the default is ".ps")
Perhaps you need an add-on/extension but i thought you got the right one in a 
standard install.  Which platform are you using; Windows, Mac, Linux or Bsd?

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] export to pdf via macro

Hi,
I am trying to export documents to pdf. I have a macro which worked
most of the time using OOo, but it does not work in LO.
I use this code..
--- cut ---
  cDestFile = Left(cSourceFile, Len(cSourceFile) - 4) + "pdf"
  cDestURL = ConvertToUrl( cDestFile )
  Dim oExportOptions(4) as New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
  oExportOptions(0).name = "FilterName"
  oExportOptions(0).value = "writer_pdf_Export"
  oExportOptions(1).name = "Author"
  oExportOptions(1).value = "..."
  oExportOptions(2).name = "Comment"
  oExportOptions(2).value = "..."
  oExportOptions(3).name = "DocumentTitle"
  oExportOptions(3).value = "..."
  oExportOptions(4).Name = "Overwrite"
  oExportOptions(4).Value = True
  oDoc.storeToURL( cDestURL, oExportOptions )
--- cut ---

However, in my experiance this only worked in OOo when the
"SaveFileAs" dialog showed pdf as a format to "save as".
When OOo did not had this option, the macro would not work either.
None of my LO installations have this SaveAs format and the macro
fails in all of my LO installations.
I know there was another way to export to pdf (using "export" instead
of "save as") - but I can't find it anymore...

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Yours,
Nils
