I am writing a novel in Writer ver 3.2.0 running under Windows XP.
When I save each chapter I first save it in odt format. I then save a
PDF version to send to my proof-reader by clicking on the PDF icon on
the button bar.
I first realise that something was wrong when, after saving the PDF
version, I could not find it.
So, I went back into the odt version and clicked on the PDF icon
again, but this time I watched very carefully what happened. The "Save
as" screen popped up and I noted that the "Save as type" field had
defaulted to ".odt", so it wasn't going to save as a PDF at all, just
re save the odt version.
The only way I can save in PDF format at the moment is to go to File >
Export ... or File > Export as PDF
Why is my PDF icon no longer working? I would be very much obliged if
someone could point me in the right direction.
Kind regards, James
To create a PDF you must EXPORT as .pdf, not SAVE as .pdf.
There is a separate menu item under FILE for this.

There is also a toolbar icon that will "Export Directly" as .pdf. That
is what the OP was referring to. You click it and the file is Exported
as a pdf with the settings that are in effect in the export as pdf
option. The icon saves several clicks so you DONT HAVE TO click file >
Export s PDF then select your settings. It is this functionality that
he appears to have lost. James, I can find no reason why or how this
could happen.
