Since Gabriel and I are both working on similar tools, I think I know what 
he needs. We both have written a tool to convert documents using 
LibreOffice import and export filters. We use PyUNO to open and save 
documents and during this 'conversion' problems have been reported that 
the page format (eg. A4) is not retained.

My understanding is that either the original document has no paper format 
configured, or it does not fit the expected dimensions. So the question 
is, how can we set (enforce) the correct page dimensions before exporting 
to another document format using PyUNO ?

I have found some example code in Basic, however I couldn't transcode it 
to working Python code :-/

PS The tool I am working on is available from:
