Set language of a document before exporting it to docx file in Adobe SDK?

How can I set language of a document before exporting it to docx file in Adobe SDK?

In Acrobat Pro DC you can set it by performing following steps:

1. Export you PDF to any format

2. Microsoft Word

3. Settings icon

4. Set language

5. Select value in Document language dropdown

How can I do the same using Adobe SDK? Part of my code is as follows:

Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
Call jso.saveAs(WScript.Arguments(0), "com.adobe.acrobat.docx")

I could find any suitable parameter here:

There is no method for the COM or JS APIs to do this.

Are you going to add it in the future?

Adobe don't share their future plans but I can say it is very unlikely. 95% of the API to Acrobat is for plugins (C or C++ only) which have access to every low level element in the PDF so that - with detail knowledge of the PDF specification - this can already be done. Don't look for samples though, it requires detailed study of the docs.
