Howdy, I see that when you follow through with a 'print to file' as the printer choice; the dialog to name the file has a drop down for selecting the type of file, with
All formats Portable Documents Format Any type as three choices. I did not realize it was system optional for PDF to be there, kind of thought that was built into the application code but it makes sense that in this case Libo is using an external generator (from the OS). Your sure that is the case? Either way I think the GS should mention it, Firstly, if for some reason the person's system didn't recognize a local or network printer this 'Print to file' is still be displayed. Second, and then maybe it is ok to mention a 'see LibreOffice *6.0* Module Guide' that guide isn't published yet and the way to make the statement accurate is to get something about that into it. Third, with or without the see also type reference, how about change that to: Which I've been trying to fashion for 10 minutes but it keeps getting very wordy. So maybe just a pass is the right way to go.
