I guess the first thing to check is that you're definitely clicking
the PDF export icon (looks like a page with text saying "PDF" at the
bottom), and not "Save" or "Save As" icons (look like a floppy disks)?
I would like to think I am not that stupid as to click on the "Save as"
button instead of the "Export Directly as PDF" button, but I am starting
to suspect you are right - and it was very astute of you to think of
that possibility - well done!
I /did/ add the 'Save as...' icon to by button bar in recent times and
it does have red on it like the PDF button, so maybe ...?
I just opened a new OOo Writer document and tried bot the PDF button and
the Save as button and each performed as it should, so, either there was
something wrong with the document I was working on at the time
(unlikely) or I mistakenly and repetitively clicked on the Save as icon
instead of the PDF one.
Many thanks to you all,
James
