Good to make PDF export better, more professional. We uses the
export a lot to deliver PDF to our professional print houses.<br>
It works very wel, exept the lack off "boxes" in the PDF file <br>
TRIMbox = where to cut the printed result (needed for pinting)<br>
BLEEDbox = is mostly TRIMbox + 5mm (needed for printing)<br>
MEDIAbox not realy needed<br>
CROPbox not realt needed<br>
<br>
we to the printing with the API and basic code<br>
<br>
below our code with all the Filterdata we know off (maybe there
are more ?)<br>
so we need some filter options to set the TRIMbox and the
BLEEDbox<br>

<div>I'm new to LibreOffice development and looking
at enhancing the PDF export functionality,
especially for Impress. I would like to add the
print options (such as "print" grayscale, black
and white, pages-per-sheet, ...) to PDF exporting.<br>
<br>
</div>
Specifically, I'm looking at adding the "LibreOffice
Impress" and "Page Layout" tabs (from the
File-->Print dialog) to the File-->"Export as
PDF" dialog. I have traced the code enough to see
that printing and PDF export use the same
OutputDevice class, which seems to support at least
some of the options in question, so I'm hopeful it
would work well. <br>
<br>
</div>
Questions I need help with:<br>
</div>
1. Is this a reasonable feature idea?<br>
</div>
2. Would this be reasonably straight-forward to implement
(i.e., are printing and PDF export as compatible as I
might hope)?<br>
</div>
3. Where is the code for the print dialog's tabs, and the
export to PDF dialog's tabs?<br>
</div>
<div>4. Where is the code for setting the output layout (ex: 4
pages per sheet)?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some background info: <br>
I am a university lecturer and I export PDFs of my notes
daily. I can print to a PDF printer; however Acrobat and PDF
Creator under Windows generate very large PDFs (they come
out as bitmaps vs a more "vector" format). My slides have a
background color and the PDF needs to be black-and-white (to
print well without wasting ink), and have 4 slides per page.
I have hacked around the code to prove I can generate a PDF
in the correct black-and-white format, but I'd like to make
it a real feature for everyone's use, rather than a hack in
my copy.<br>

All help and guidance is welcome!<br>
