Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with "Export as PDF"

[Niklas Johansson]

I would not really call it a bug. If you only want to export a part of the
document as PDF and embed the odf then how much of the odf should be
embedded. If only part of the document would be embedded then how would
LibreOffice know what to throw away.

I'd recommend, take a copy of the document and remove the unwanted parts
and then do the export with the embed option enabled.

[Pat Brown]

Thanks Brian and thanks to everyone else who gave advice. Changing the name
of the config folder did the trick. It now works as it should. I appreciate
the help.

Where do I find the User Config folder on a Windows machine? Just for
interest, I thought I would try carrying out a new installation, which I
did after downloading version 4.2.5.2, but I am still having the same issue

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with "Export as PDF"

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
No need to apologise about the "Reply to all" thing.  It's just a weird
setting that quite a lot of new people seem to have trouble with and even
people who have been here for years sometimes have trouble with it too.

It's good to hear you have a work-around to "take the edge off" while you
try for a better answer from LO.  Hopefully people here might be able to
help with that
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I have LO 4.1.2.3 (I know, I'm one iteration behind in my updates!); I 
am running Win7 Home Premium. I have no problem exporting a selection 
from an odf doc to pdf.


When I highlighted a selection and then chose "Export as PDF… ", the 
options box opens with the "All" selection chosen. But I can change to 
"Pages" or "Selection" with no problem. When I choose "Selection," it 
exported just that selection into a pdf document.


BTW, one of the quirks of this list is that a simple "reply" does not 
copy the list! Either "reply all" or "reply list" does this trick :)


I agree -- except that I don't think this is a quirk, but a poor 
decision on the part of the list owners. If this is intended as a 
discussion list, then setting the default to kill the discussion on the 
list by sending the reply to the sender of the email is counter to the 
declared intention. I encourage the owners to change the default.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with "Export as PDF"

[Pat Brown]

Thanks guys,
   Firstly, my apologies for the "Reply to All" issue. My fault I should
have checked. Will try not to let it happen again.
  I have been using a pdf printer driver for years (using Primo PDF
currently) but I was interested in the "editable pdf' feature when using
Export as PDF from LO.
  I will try the possible solution of re-creating the config folder and see
what happens. Once I have done this I will report back

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with "Export as PDF"

[Kracked_P_P---webmaster]

Till we can figure out your issue, you might want to try an external 
program to create the PDF file.


For Windows, I use doPDF - which is free.  I have used it from XP, 
Vista, and Win7 systems.  I have been using it for all of the other 
packages that I need a PDF printout instead of a paper one. Once 
installed, it will show up as a printer, so you will "print to PDF" 
instead of exporting.


The "range option" makes me thing Calc instead of Writer.  But like a 
printer, if you can print a "range" of pages to the printer, you can do 
the same to doPDF, since it acts like a printer, but the output is to a 
file and not paper.


I also wonder if something was corrupted in your user config files.  
That can happen, and has for me on both Windows and Ubuntu/Linux, mostly 
for printer issues before 4.1.x came out.  If so, it might be fixed by 
renaming [while LO is closed] the user config folder and then let LO 
recreate it when you open LO.  This is what you need to do for a clean 
install of LO, since it "clears out" the user profile and associated data.
