Exporting is not a feature of drawing documents. There is a separate service available from the global service manager for exporting, com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicExportFilter. It supports three interfaces: com.sun.star.document.XFilter, com.sun.star.document.XExporter and com.sun.star.document.XMimeTypeInfo.

GraphicExportFilter

Exporting is a simple process. After getting a GraphicExportFilter from the ServiceManager, use its XExporter interface to inform the filter which draw page, shape or shape collection to export.

Method of com.sun.star.document.XExporter:

  void setSourceDocument ( [in] com::sun::star::lang::XComponent xDoc)

The method name setSourceDocument() may be confusing. Actually, the method would allow exporting entire documents, however, it is only possible to export draw pages, single shapes or shape collections from a drawing document. Since these objects support the XComponent interface, the method specification allows maximum flexibility.

Next, run the method filter() at the XFilter interface. To interrupt the exporting process, call cancel() on the same interface.

Methods of com.sun.star.document.XFilter:

  boolean filter( [in] sequence< com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue > aDescriptor)
  void cancel()
