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);




Filter specific properties are to be placed
within a property sequence called FilterData.
Your code should look as follow:


final PropertyValue aFilterData[] = new ProperyValue[2];
aFilterData[ 0 ] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[ 0 ].Name = FirstPageOnLeft;
aFilterData[ 0 ].Value = Boolean.TRUE;
aFilterData[ 1 ] = new PropertyValue();
aFilterData[ 1 ].Name = UseTaggedPDF;
aFilterData[ 1 ].Value = new Integer(3);

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 = FilterData;
pdfProperty[ 2 ].Value = aFilterData;


Best regards,
Sven



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-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.
