How to Save document properties

[palaksha@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I am working on a project in which I have to set the properties in coding for a pdf document i.e Magnification, Initial view, pagelayout [Single page, Continuous etc using the funtion AVPageViewSetlayoutmode], Initial [default] open page Number etc, that thing I am doing and I am getting it correctly. But I can't find proper funtion for saving the above properties after setting. I tried AVDocDoSave, SavePDDoc, but it doesn't work. can anybody Please tell me How can I save the document properties.

Thank you,

Uma Kanthi.

An AVPageView corresponds to a view of the document - a user
interface. Changing its properties does not edit the underlying
document (PDDoc), so saving will do nothing.

What methods are you using, bearing in mind that you can't do what you
want with AVPageView or AVWindow methods?

Hi Aandi,
I am working on Acrobat 6.0, Iwant to set document properties and then save, so which method is suitable for that purpose, please guide me.

Thank you very much,

You probably need to start by establishing what the Open Options
dialog sets,working in conjunction with a live PDF,for analysis, and
the PDF Reference. You could use the PDF Reference alone, but that is
harder work.

Once you have the information on what needs to change you can use the
Cos layer. Some other APIs may streamline things e.g.
PDDocSetOpenAction.

Thanks for your reply.
I want to set the document options in document properties like pagelayout, Magnification, open page number and show( Page only, Bookmarks & page etc) and save the document. Can you tell me what methods i need to use like PDDocSetLayoutMode. Please tell me what methods i can use to set the document properties.

Thanks,
Uma Kanti.

Ah, I wasn't aware of PDDocSetLayoutMode, as it is new in 7.0. That
will save you some time. Also, I see PDDocSetPageMode. These may save
you a lot of time, indeed. Now you just need to read about the
relevant keys in the PDF Reference.
