Hi there,
In Python, I need to transport a css::uno::Sequence<css::beans::PropertyValue>
inside the css.document.MediaDescriptor's FilterData for the PDF export filter.
I guess (my PyUNO knowledge is rather limited... as I don't like Python that
much...) the Python code may look like this:
aFilterData = (
PropertyValue( "DisplayPDFDocumentTitle", 0, False, DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "OpenInFullScreenMode", 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "ResizeWindowToInitialPage", 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "HideViewerMenubar", 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "HideViewerToolbar", 0, True, DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "Selection", 0, oSel, DIRECT_VALUE )
)
aMediaDescriptor = (
PropertyValue( "FilterName", 0, "writer_pdf_Export", DIRECT_VALUE ),
PropertyValue( "FilterData", 0, aFilterData, DIRECT_VALUE )
)
xTextDoc.storeToURL( sURL, aMediaDescriptor )
(complete code attached)
what in Java looks like this:
PropertyValue[] aMediaDescriptor = new PropertyValue[2];
aMediaDescriptor[0] = new PropertyValue();
aMediaDescriptor[0].Name = "FilterName";
aMediaDescriptor[0].Value = "writer_pdf_Export";
PropertyValue[] aFilterData = new PropertyValue[6];
aFilterData[0] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[0].Name = "Selection";
aFilterData[0].Value = oSelection;
aFilterData[1] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[1].Name = "DisplayPDFDocumentTitle";
aFilterData[1].Value = Boolean.FALSE;
aFilterData[2] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[2].Name = "OpenInFullScreenMode";
aFilterData[2].Value = Boolean.TRUE;
aFilterData[3] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[3].Name = "ResizeWindowToInitialPage";
aFilterData[3].Value = Boolean.TRUE;
aFilterData[4] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[4].Name = "HideViewerMenubar";
aFilterData[4].Value = Boolean.TRUE;
aFilterData[5] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[5].Name = "HideViewerToolbar";
aFilterData[5].Value = Boolean.TRUE;
aMediaDescriptor[1] = new PropertyValue();
aMediaDescriptor[1].Name = "FilterData";
aMediaDescriptor[1].Value = aFilterData;
XStorable xStorable = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XStorable.class, xTextDocument);
xStorable.storeToURL(sURL, aMediaDescriptor);
and in OOo Basic looks like the code in
http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/docs/PDF_export_FilterData_demo.odt
The problem is that with the above code, the PyUNO bridge transports the
FilterData as a css::uno::Sequence<css::uno::Any> instead of a
css::uno::Sequence<css::beans::PropertyValue> and the convertion fails in the
filter code
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m68/filter/source/pdf/pdffilter.cxx#71
so that the filter ends up reading the configuration instead of the FilterData
passed.
The problem is the same as in
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12504
"The problem is, that the writer code expects a
sequence<PropertyValue> as the any argument of replaceByIndex, but
python delivers a sequence<any>, where each member is of type
PropertyValue."
but the workaround in FAQ Nr. 15 didn't work for me cf.
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html#faq and
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12504#desc12
Any hints on how to tell the PyUNO bridge to do things as really wanted are
very welcome.
