after trying this again, i discovered that this fails too. the only
thing that worked for me was doing it the "manual" way:
pdf = PropertyValue()
pdf.Name = 'FilterName'
pdf.Value = 'writer_pdf_Export'
furthermore, if you need to specify multiple properties, then
virtually duplicating these three lines up and down your code starts
to get old:
hdn = PropertyValue()
hdn.Name = 'Hidden'
hdn.Value = True
pdf = PropertyValue()
pdf.Name = 'FilterName'
pdf.Value = 'writer_pdf_Export'
ow = PropertyValue()
ow.Name = 'Overwrite'
ow.Value = True
you can slightly improve on this with something like:
props = [PropertyValue() for i in range(nprops)]
props[0].Name = 'FilterName'
props[0].Value = 'writer_pdf_Export'
props[1].Name = 'Overwrite'
props[1].Value = True
props[2].Name = 'Hidden'
props[2].Value = True
instead, i put this all into a function, and it helped clean things up a bit:
def makePropVal(x, y=True):
pv = PropertyValue()
pv.Name = x
pv.Value = y
return pv
hdn = makePropVal('Hidden')
pdf = makePropVal('FilterName', FTYPES[ftype])
ow = makePropVal('Overwrite')

correction (should be dir path as 1st arg):
unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl('C:/alleclipse/OpenOffice'),
unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl('test2.pdf')), (PDF,))

fred,
(man, i hate seeing that error too... it gets old *fast*.)
a couple of suggestions here:
1. use unohelper with filenames (see #3 below)
import unohelper
2. use the short form to instantiate a PropertyValue
REPLACE:
PDF = PropertyValue("FilterName", 0, "writer_pdf_Export", 0)
WITH:
PDF = PropertyValue("FilterName", "writer_pdf_Export")
3. use storeToURL() as opposed to storeAsURL()
REPLACE:
doc2.storeAsURL("file:///C:/alleclipse/OpenOffice/test2.pdf", (PDF,))
WITH:
doc2.storeToURL(unohelper.absolutize(
unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl('C:/alleclipse/OpenOffice/test2.pdf'),
unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl('test2.pdf')), (PDF,))
let us know how/if/whether this works.
HTH,

it has a particular symptom with Tkinter where if i run the

i can bring up and create Tk objects which work as expected using
XDarwin 1.3.0/XFree86 4.4.0, BUT when i try to run anything as a

has anyone else seen this error before? the script (obviously) works
