[Erp5-users] Forcing oood to produce PDF/A rather than PDF

[Marco Bizzarri]

Hi, Kazuhiko, thanks for your feedback; I'll check cloudoood.

In the meantime, I've added the following line to mimemapper.py:


    self.filter_property_dict['writer_pdf_Export']['export_props'] = ( \
      PropertyValue('FilterData',0,uno.Any(
        '[]com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue',
        (PropertyValue('SelectPdfVersion', 0, 1, 0),),), 0),
      )

According to the documentation, the SelectPdfVersion set to 1 should force
OpenOffice to produce PDF; however, as I experienced before, I get an
OpenOffice process running at 100%.

System is a Debian Lenny, with stuff from the backport: OpenOffice 3.1

Any hint of where I could look to debug this problem?

Regards
Marco
