Hi Kent,

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.

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-security.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,
