JLink / PDF Export / PDFOPT_LAUNCH_VIEWER / Problem

[ReiSi]

Hello,

I'm working on small idea to export the assembly drawing into one Set of pdfs.

So to export, using JLink, there is the option: 

PDFOPT_LAUNCH_VIEWER, boolean False

But the JLink / Export Instructions is ignoring this feature without any Message? Are there any ideas?

System: Creo 4 / M040 / Win 10 / HP Zbook

Edit: Forget to mention the problem.
All other options are working.
After adding the Option PDFOPT_LAUNCH_VIEWER, False the other options are also ignored.

The Code in detail:

public void exportDrawingAsPdf (Drawing drawing) {
    String path = "C:\\JavaProjects\\Java201";
    log.info("Speicherpfad PDF: " + path);

    try {
        String filename =
                drawing.GetFullName().toString() + ".pdf";
        PDFExportInstructions instructions = PDFExportInstructions_Create();
        instructions.SetFilePath(path);

        // All options are stored in this container
        PDFOptions optionsContainer = PDFOptions.create();
        log.info("PDF optionsContainer created");

        // Create now the single options
        PDFOption pdfOption = PDFOption_Create();
        // PDF Options - Do not Open
        pdfOption.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_LAUNCH_VIEWER);
        pdfOption.SetOptionValue(pfcArgument.CreateBoolArgValue(false));
        optionsContainer.append(pdfOption);
        log.info("PDF Launch Viewer OFF");

        // Searchable Text
        pdfOption.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_SEARCHABLE_TEXT);
        pdfOption.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(true));
        optionsContainer.append(pdfOption);
        log.info("PDF Searchable Text" );

        // PDF Options - Stroke Fonts
        // Option: 0 Stroke Fonts, 1 TrueType
        pdfOption.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_FONT_STROKE);
        pdfOption.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(0));
        optionsContainer.append(pdfOption);
        log.info("PDF Stroke Fonts");

        // PDF Options - Use Pentable
        pdfOption.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_PENTABLE);
        pdfOption.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(true));
        optionsContainer.append(pdfOption);
        log.info("PDF use Pentable TRUE" );

        // PDF Options - Only Grayscale (1)
        pdfOption.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_COLOR_DEPTH);
        pdfOption.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(1));
        optionsContainer.append(pdfOption);
        log.info("PDF ColorDepth GRAY");


        instructions.SetOptions(optionsContainer);
        log.info("PDF Drawing Options Set");

        //Pfad erstellen
        String exportPath = Paths.get(path, filename).toString();

        drawing.Export(exportPath, instructions);
        log.info("Zeichnung erstellt: " + exportPath);

    } catch (Throwable t) {
        JLinkThrowable.logJLinkException(log, t);
    }


}

I changed the code, now it is working fine.

I create a new PDFOption for every Options and add this to my optionsContainer.

See code attached:

String filename =
        drawing.GetFullName().toString() + ".pdf";
PDFExportInstructions instructions = PDFExportInstructions_Create();
instructions.SetFilePath(path);

// All options are stored in this container
PDFOptions optionsContainer = PDFOptions.create();
log.info("PDF optionsContainer created");

// PDF Options - Do not Open
PDFOption pdfOptionShow = PDFOption_Create();
pdfOptionShow.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(false));
pdfOptionShow.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_LAUNCH_VIEWER);
optionsContainer.append(pdfOptionShow);
log.info("PDF Launch Viewer OFF");

// PDF Options - Stroke Fonts
// Option: 0 Stroke Fonts, 1 TrueType
PDFOption pdfOptionStroke = PDFOption_Create();
pdfOptionStroke.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(0));
pdfOptionStroke.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_FONT_STROKE);
optionsContainer.append(pdfOptionStroke);
log.info("PDF Stroke Fonts");

// Searchable Text
PDFOption pdfOptionSearch = PDFOption_Create();
pdfOptionSearch.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_SEARCHABLE_TEXT);
pdfOptionSearch.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(true));
optionsContainer.append(pdfOptionSearch);
log.info("PDF Searchable Text" );

// PDF Options - Use Pentable
PDFOption pdfOptionPentable = PDFOption_Create();
pdfOptionPentable.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_PENTABLE);
pdfOptionPentable.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(true));
optionsContainer.append(pdfOptionPentable);
log.info("PDF use Pentable TRUE" );

// PDF Options - Only Grayscale (1)
PDFOption pdfOptionColor = PDFOption_Create();
pdfOptionColor.SetOptionType(PDFOptionType.PDFOPT_COLOR_DEPTH);
pdfOptionColor.SetOptionValue(wrapAsArgValue(1));
optionsContainer.append(pdfOptionColor);
log.info("PDF ColorDepth GRAY");

instructions.SetOptions(optionsContainer);
log.info("PDF Drawing Options Set");
