Hi Frank,

I will try to explain better:
1. suppose we have a *multi-sheet* Calc document (ods file);
2. when you go to print preview, you see only the current sheet (print preview) and the page numbers are consequently assigned; 3.1. if you have *to print* (on paper or on a pdf printer) *only some pages* of the *current* (selected) sheet, in the *print dialog window* you can choose the sheet and than (and also!) the page range (that is *coherent* with the print preview one!); 3.2. if you have *to export* natively the pdf of only some pages of the current sheet *you have to* (you ought to), after having seen the print preview, select the associated area, go to file menu -> Export in PDF... and and then choose selected area in the *Export to PDF dialog window* (as you, Frank, have just pointed out).

I hope to have explained better the trouble.

What do you think?

Carlo

Carlo:

I'm not sure what you mean: the pdf export dialog on my system is the same
in Calc as it is in Writer.

On the initial "General" tab, you have the choice of "Range: All | Pages |
Selection" which would seem to be what you are looking for. There are also
options on that same tab (under "General") for pdf forms and such things.

Can you give your LibreOffice version number and your operating system
version? Or am I not understanding your problem?

Frank
