Hallo Frank,
That's currently not possible, but a macro should be able to do this
(load the report, export it as PDF, close it). I'm too lazy^Wbusy at the
moment to sketch it - any volunteers here?
Ciao
Frank
thanks, i'm glad to be sure that i didn't overlook it. Would be great,
if someone has the macro definition - if not, i won't cry :-)
Have a nice weekend...

Hello Christian,
The macro for this is really not that much to put together, but there is
one question that has to be answered.
Naming the file?
There is a default naming scheme with the report builder when you save
to an odt file from the UI, there is no default name at all if you do an
export to pdf.
I have a couple of ideas for naming:
A - Save the file in the same directory as the ODB file. Use report name
- as listed in the odb file list of reports - as the file name. Save new
report over top of any previous file of the same name.
( Pro - easiest macro to write, no intervention by you ( the user )
beyond launching the macro assuming you have OOo 2.4, OOo 2.3.x display
a little dialog with reports listed so you can pick which one. )
(Con - not very flexible, doesn't work well if you are running reports
over time periods ( weekly sales for instance, for instance ) )
B - Do all of the above but use the internal name for the report. ( Note
I think you will need version 1.0.2 of the report builder for this to
work reliably - not sure if you also need OOo 2.4 )
C - something different.
Second question then. Are you by chance upgrading to 2.4 or you need
this for 2.3.x
