May your keyboards always type true Regards Hylton Are you talking about the Rainfall.ods file problems with all of those different tabs for different sheets and graphs? I received a copy of the file and for a lack of trying anything, I saved the .ods file to and Excel 2003 .xls file than closed that document. Reopened the .xls document in Calc and it worked. When I did the Export to PDF, it created a 24 page document that has the graphs. I also made sure the page was formatted as Landscape. I do not know why, but I thought is there was some issues in the file itself, saving it as an Excel file and then taking that file and saving it back to a Calc document might remove the problem as if it was not something that could be recognized by the other file format. Something was in the file's structure or coding that caused the error. So when it got saved to .xls, that problem was not able to be transfered to the new file format. The .xls file was almost 10 times the size of the original .ods file and the newly saved .ods file was smaller than the original file by about 3 KBs. So maybe that process got rid of the bad coding. Whatever it was, the Rainfall.ods file works now for printing. You can see the graphic sheets in the page preview, where I got a blank page with the original one. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hylton Hi Hylton, sure I have not explained with the required detail. The option is in: Menu/File/Export as PDF/[General] - General - Embed OpenDocument file. This option is not available on my version of LO 3.4.5 only 'Embed Standard fonts' is available, which is not selected. If this option is enable the only chance is to export the complete document. This option embed the ods document in the pdf file, and if you later open this pdf in LibreOffice the ods document is open. IMO a very interesting option to share a document, an accurate view plus an edit file option. About other non related things with your question, you are right, IMHO people would be better answer what it is asked, and if they like to comment about other things start their own thread. Too much blah blah blah, with few helping answers. Thanks for the idea, but alas the problem persists. I have Cc'd you and include the file as an attachment, that I know will be stripped by TDF for the mailing list but you should receive it. Once you open the file in Calc, select all the tabs from July to General, Choose File: Export to PDF, Choose only selection, save the file on your system and then re open it with Adobe Acrobat to check all pages exported.

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
I was told that there are Security issues with 3.4.6. I download my version[s] of LO directly from LO's download pages, since it usually has the newest version[s] there well before the repositories do. For older distros of Linux, for me Ubuntu 10.04, you might never see anything newer than the 3.4.x line. I currently use 3.5.5 and have installed it on all of my systems that are not in storage. Maybe you might want to see about downloading 3.5.5 and give it a try. You do not need to, but the 3.5.x line works better than 3.4.6, or at least for me it is.

Not all of us have the money to buy a better system, have access to Broadband so they can download a newer version every time one comes out. No everyone will feel comfortable to use Linux for their system, or can change their OS due to some requirement that they have no control over. Business users may not own their systems and may have a difficult time even to be allowed to use LO instead of MSO. To be honest, we need to accept that we have a lot of Windows users that have the option to use MSO and we need to prove to them that LO is a viable option to use instead of buying

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
I started out on mainframes when a small computer was the size of a refrigerator. Then I bought my first computer as a kit and ran PC DOS on it. So I have seen the PCs from their start. For Windows, I started using doPDF PDF printing software for maybe 8 or 10 years. I do not remember but I started using it on an XP laptop. I just printed the document as a PDF file instead to a physical paper printer. That was the best free option for PDF creation that I had found when I was using Windows. Now that I use Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04, I use CUPS-PDF for my default printer. I do not remember when Export-to-PDF came in LO, but I started using it with 3.3.0, the first version. To be honest, doPDF and CUPS-PDF printing does everything I ask it to for portrait documents. For landscape docs that are to be viewed as a PDF file and not printed later, I need to use LO's PDF options. CUPS-PDF makes the PDF file formatted for printing portrait pages, with the text sideways in landscape mode. Not good if you want to read the PDF file with the default PDF reader package. I would like to look at the file and see if I can create a PDF file, properly, from it. I can try Win XP and Vista, along with Ubuntu. I can try Exporting to PDF and try doPDF and CUPS-PDF printing. It has to work some way. I do not have Win7, yet, but I want to upgrade the Vista part of a dual booting laptop to Win7 sometime this year. webmas...@krackedpress.com [email used for the lists] or webmas...@libreoffice-na.us [LO related email off the list] On 07/29/2012 11:32 AM, Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote: On 28/07/12 19:45, Don C.

Help is much appreciated Hylton Thank you for commenting on the OP's initial problem, and not a Linux Windows word flame-war that bears no relation to the subject line, despite some valid suggestions being valid. Verify you have not marked in the same tab the option: Embed OpenDocument file. How could I check this via the GUI? I recreated the last graph and made sure there were no 'embeds' of any kind. Could non-standard fonts i.e. not Arial, also play a part? Further to this, issue it would seem that only the last created graph is being exported( but this is NOT the last selected Tab) as when I view the exported PDF, only a single page shows, instead of approx 12. Hylton Hi Hylton, sure I have not explained with the required detail. The option is in: Menu/File/Export as PDF/[General] - General - Embed OpenDocument file. If this option is enable the only chance is to export the complete document. This option embed the ods document in the pdf file, and if you later open this pdf in LibreOffice the ods document is open. IMO a very interesting option to share a document, an accurate view plus an edit file option. About other non related things with your question, you are right, IMHO people would be better answer what it is asked, and if they like to comment about other things start their own thread. Too much blah blah blah, with few helping answers.

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
What is you OS? Windows, Linux, Mac? Which version. What version of LO are you using? Your statement of using 3.3 since 3.4.5 is confusing. Are you using 3.5.5, 3.5.4, 3.5.3? while someone tries to figure out the issue, if you use Windows, please download doPDF - free PDF printer software. Linux - CUPS-PDF. With the PDF printer installed print the document to the PDF printer, like you would a paper printer. Then see if creating a PDF that way works. If it does, then it is the PDF Exporting option. If not it may be in some generic printing option or some other issue. I tend to use a PDF printer more than Exporting to PDF, since I print PDFs from many different packages and forget to use the Export option. I have PDF printing as my default printer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
Windows users can get free PDF printer drivers, like doPDF. Linux users can use other options like CUPS-PDF. What are you using to print your files to PDF with? We what to encourage Windows users, and to tell them they are stupid to use it. I know of many people who cannot use Linux due to software needs that will not run with WINE. I must keep a Windows system for both hardware and software needs. I prefer Ubuntu, but I know that most people will not switch to Linux no matter what we tell them. We need to get more and more Windows users to get away from MSO and get them to look into FOSS as a viable option for their software needs. For most users, Windows is a viable option over Linux. As long as they feel comfortable with it. I know we had a thread before about not telling people that my/your OS is better than someone else's. Every user has their own needs and own ideas of what OS is better for THEM. Right now we want to help users to see that LO is right for them, no matter which OS they use. I have it on 2 version of Windows and 2 versions of Ubuntu. We need to help users with their issues and not joke that there is something funny with the OS they are using. I do not find it to be funny. If a user is having problems with the Exporting/Printing to PDF that is a part of LO, then I would say that they need to install a PDF printer options - doPDF for Windows and some option depending on the version of Linux they use. Then test the PDF output with one of those PDF printers. If they have the same issue, then it is not the Exporting to PDF that is the issue. A different poster to this thread has come up with an option for the user to test. I am not a Calc person, so I look at the Exporting/Printing part of the issue and let some one else take on the possibility of it is something to do with the setup of the file itself and not the printing part of it. BUT whatever we do, we should not make fun of the user, his/her OS, the system used, or even state it is all due to them using an older version of LO. Not all of us have the money to buy a better system, have access to Broadband so they can download a newer version every time one comes out. No everyone will feel comfortable to use Linux for their system, or can change their OS due to some requirement that they have no control over. Business users may not own their systems and may have a difficult time even to be allowed to use LO instead of MSO. To be honest, we need to accept that we have a lot of Windows users that have the option to use MSO and we need to prove to them that LO is a viable option to use instead of buying another version of MSO. LO is not the default for most Linux versions. MSO is the package most Windows user know as their only office package option. We need to get the word out there to these Windows users that LO is there and we want them to try it. We do not want them to think we are stuck-up egg-headed Linux users that do not accept that there is anything wrong with them using Windows. I prefer to use Ubuntu, but I do not think most Windows users will be able to switch. I know of some Linux users who had to make one of their system run Windows due to the fact that need to use a certain type of software and Linux does not have the software they need. One young fellow needs some really good post-production video editing software. He prefers Linux for everything, but he just cannot find the software he needs for Linux. So LO runs on many different OSs. Then be a support to all of those different OS users for LO and not blame anything on their choice of OS. IF we do, then we might as well start telling people that their version of Linux is laughable over our version of Linux. Now where would you think that would get us?

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
I'm running LO on Ubuntu 12.04. I've used all previous versions of LO through the present 3.5.5.3. My experience with export to pdf is that the entire file is exported. It does not work to select one page or a certain selection on a page. If I want to print just 1 page of a multipage document or print a section of a page, that needs to be done with a pdf printer, such as the one webmaster-Kracked_P_P mentioned below, and not through export to pdf.

Re: [libreoffice-users] pdf creation issue on a single file?
I do the following with my browser printing: Print the web page to a PDF document - since you cannot choose pages - and then open up the PDF document and choose wich page to print out. I do that type of printing most often with ALL of my packages that can print to a printer physical printer. LO is just different since it can use its internal PDF option instead of an external PDF printer There are some things that LO's PDF option does not do was well as CUPS-PDF or doPDF, but LO can create a landscape viewable document so you can read it properly, but CUPS-PDF makes it oriented landscape but viewed as portrait document. Not good for documents needed to be read and not printed in landscape mode. I have used LO since 3.3.0 and went from 3.4.6 to 3.5.4, skipping .0 through .3 for that line. I now have all my working system [except one which will change soon] and will get put the stored spare systems and install 3.5.5 or 3.5.6 depending when I get the time to get into updating the stored XP and Ubuntu 10.04 systems. I currently run Ubuntu 10.04/GNOME [desktop], 12.04/MATE and Vista [dual boot laptop], and an XP laptop, on my working or at least currently using systems. Using CUPS-PDF and doPDF as the default printer is on all of my systems, working and stored. On 07/28/2012 01:45 PM, Don C. Myers wrote: I'm running LO on Ubuntu 12.04.
