--- Comment #2 from Martin Koeditz <[email protected]> ---
I have a document, let's say 4 pages. Now I want to create a PDF brochure for
printing it later. These documents are usually flyers or magazines with
apealing look.

So I use the function File -> Print and select the FreePDF Printer to save the
output on disk. At the tab Page layout I choose the option "brochure" (I user
the german UI where it's called "Broschüre").

So in short:
1. I create the document (A4) in writer.
2. Now I create a PDF via a PDF printer. The PDF is in DIN A3 format, including
two A4 pages on each page and in the correct order.
3. Save the PDF for printing.
4. Later I just have to open my PDF (which is in A3) and run a print job in
duplex mode. When the job finishs I just have to fold the A3-Papers so that I
get an A4 flyer/brochure.

This workflow is OK, but why should I install or use a PDF printer software if
LibreOffice has the ability to do this with the on board PDF export function.

Annotation: Some PDF printer software has problems with borderless printing. I
often have header lines going over the complete width. On the A3 paper I get a
small break between the pages. But this is usually hidden by the brochure's
kink.

Hope now it has become more clear.
