Hi :) Perhaps "Print to file" and choose Pdf instead of Ps as the file-type and restrict to just "Selected pages".
However OpenSource is set-up to have specialist programs that can work together to produce output for a wide range of different requirements. If you were planting flowers would you use a butter knife to dig the holes? Would you use a trowel to cut your hedges? Would you use a hedge strimmer to spread butter on a slice of bread? Typically the proprietary route is to make 1 program that does everything. It is not a specialist in those extra rarely used things so does a fairly lousy job. Also when i want a midnight snack i have to get my boots on and the trowel and the hedge strimmer and a ton of other things i wont need when all i wanted was a little slice of toast with a bit of jam. The OpenSource route is to put only the right tool in my hand (well, a choice of right tools). The OpenSource is not a "can't do" attitude. It's a "use the right tool for the job" approach.
