This tutorial will show how to use Apache OpenOffice API to export documents to PDF.


PDF export is an important and useful feature of Apache OpenOffice that can completely be automatized using Apache OpenOffice API, quite every aspect of exporting to PDF in the graphical user interface is also available for programming: documents can be exported directly with default settings just passing the proper filter name and an URL, every option the user can set in the GUI can also be set programmatically in the filter options, also these settings are configurable via the API (they can be accessed, changed, or reset to their default values), and even the options dialog for exporting to PDF can be used through pure API calls.
