Is it possible to specify additional export filters with unoserver? #7

Hello!

My goal is to create tagged PDF documents and right now I'm using unoconv to convert programmatically created fodt documents to pdf. With unoconv I can specify export filters like UseTaggedPDF=true and SelectPdfVersion=2, but can't find how to supple same filters to unoconvert. Is it possible crrently? If not, do you have plans to implement it? I'm not really familiar with python and UNO, but I'm willing to contribute, if you provide some guidance.

👍

The following flags would also help me to switch to unoserver in Gotenberg:

We definitely want to implement some more flags, but are waiting to see which ones are requested a lot. These seem to be good candidates. We'll look into that.

@regebro a way would be to offer a sort of "passthrough" flag, so that you don't have to maintain an exhaustive list, i.e.:

--uno-args="-env:UserInstallation=//file://tmp/foo"

Well, Uno isn't a command line, so you can't really pass them through. There are certainly some high level options we should implement, like the environment settings.

Indeed, good point; I've been playing with LibreOffice headless lately, and I totally missed the fact you are using uno for interacting with it 😄

The next version of unoserver will support a --filter-options parameter.
