If you're talking about patching ooextract.py, don't. 12:50 < Brucevdk> calc: the patch was for Dan's modified version, not the one at openoffice.org (that one deals with a generic 12:50 < Brucevdk> pdf exporter) 12:52 < Brucevdk> calc: my conclusion is that it's not a bug at all, should probably be set INVALID ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Assignee: Chris Cheney (ccheney) => (unassigned) Status: Triaged => Invalid Target: intrepid-alpha-4 => None -- trouble using ExportFormFields in uno API; PDF form controls are exported even when set to False https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Setting to alpha-4 so I don't forget to get this bug fixed. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Cheney (ccheney) Status: New => Triaged Target: None => intrepid-alpha-4 -- trouble using ExportFormFields in uno API; PDF form controls are exported even when set to False https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 118789] Re: trouble using ExportFormFields in uno API; PDF form controls are exported even when set to False
That somebody was me by the way, I stumbled upon this issue while
researching another property (PageRange) which is also a sub property of
FilterData. Took me about 2 hours before I found B Marcelly's post
mentioned above. I initially had some trouble finding out there was a
PageRange property at all (for example it's not described in the spec
linked above), however all properties seem to be listed in
ImpPDFTabDialog::GetFilterData (see: http://lxr.go-
oo.org/source/framework/filter/source/pdf/impdialog.cxx).
I was going to try and summarize the issue but since my experience with
the UNO stuff is severely limited (to today) there's nothing I can add.
Thought I'd at least take the time to post a patch for the previously
attached ooextract.py. Here's the important snippet:
filterOptions = uno.Any("[]com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue", (
PropertyValue( "ExportFormFields", 0, False, 0),
),)
Notice how the uno.Any function is used to wrap the filterOptions tuple,
or set the type to []com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue (which I assume
means an array of com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue). B Marcelly explains
the reason for this wrapping in this specific post over at the OOo
forums (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=58792#233845).
I'll add a couple of keywords to this post so hopefully other people
will stumble on this bug report when they're facing the same problems.
Keywords: writer_pdf_Export, PageRange, PropertyValue, filters, PyUNO
P.S.
Thanks to cl over at #dev.openoffice.org for his assistance with this
issue.

I got a clue from somebody... "Your problem is that you need to pass an array as a value of a PropertyValue, and a PropertyValue can receive anything.

yes, if it's like formcontrol.pdf, it's broken.

On openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3. For me they all look like your formcontrol.pdf, gui ooextract.py from the website and the ooextract.py that you modified. They all have the stylized X mark. So does that mean they are all broken for what you are trying to do? ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- trouble using ExportFormFields in uno API; PDF form controls are exported even when set to False https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
