pyuno and PDF output

[Sells, Fred]

I can use java to output a PDF file using uno, but when I try to do it in
python, I get an IO Exception with no added information. The relevant code
snippet follows:

from com.sun.star.beans import PropertyValue
PDF = PropertyValue( "FilterName" , 0 , "writer_pdf_Export", 0 )
doc2.storeAsURL("file:///C:/alleclipse/OpenOffice/test2.pdf", (PDF,) )

if I don't specify any properties, it writes an "odt" file just fine, but
when I specify (PDF,) it breaks.





Traceback (most recent call last):
File "oomerge.py", line 137, in ?
test1()
File "oomerge.py", line 74, in test1
doc2.storeAsURL("file:///C:/alleclipse/OpenOffice/test2.pdf", (PDF,) )
__main__.com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException
