Dear Mansoor:
Why you want to export a spreadsheet to a bitmap format is puzzling,
however...
There are many ways to skin a cat:
In Windows, you could print it to a number of different apps that accept
input as a virtual printer driver. This includes .PDF Creator and
However, you will then need Photoshop elements ($$$) to rasterise. When
you do this, you will have to load your .PDF once for each page you need
to rasterise, then choose the Bitmap mode and resolution.
This allows you to control the resolution of the imported file, but if
the imported data size is big, this can be quite long and processor
demanding.
Unfortunately, Gimp does not load .PDF files, although the .PDF Creator
printer driver may, depending on the version and the advanced settings,
may also export as a Postscript or other format which Gimp can import
for further graphic editing.
I do not remember this being the case with the Oo .PDF export app,
however it may also be possible.
Another route would be to paste the sheet as a table in Draw, then
convert and export, however that is apt to render a very poor
resolution, unless you can find the add-on that allows you to control
the bitmap conversion routine's export resolution.
In Linux (Fedora 12-14) you have this facility more built into the
Operating system.
Are you now "bitten" by the bitmap idea! (Guffaw)
Cheers,
Bruce Martin
