Operation Manual

when using screen reader software. Some tags that are exported are table of contents,
hyperlinks, and controls. This option can increase file sizes significantly.
• Create PDF form - Submit format: Choose the format of submitting forms from within the
PDF file. This setting overrides the control’s URL property that you set in the document.
There is only one common setting valid for the whole PDF document: PDF (sends the
whole document), FDF (sends the control contents), HTML, and XML. Most often you will
choose the PDF format.
• Export bookmarks: Exports headings in Writer documents, and page or slide names in
Impress and Draw documents, as “bookmarks” (a table of contents list displayed by most
PDF viewers, including Adobe Reader).
• Export comments: Exports comments as PDF notes. You may not want this!
• Export automatically inserted blank pages: If selected, automatically inserted blank
pages are exported to the PDF. This is best if you are printing the PDF double-sided. For
example, books usually have chapters set to always start on an odd-numbered (right-hand)
page. When the previous chapter ends on an odd page, LibreOffice inserts a blank page
between the two odd pages. This option controls whether to export that blank page.
• Embed standard fonts: Normally the 14 standard PostScript fonts are not embedded in a
PDF file, because PDF reader software already contains these fonts. However, you can
choose to embed these fonts in all PDF documents created by LibreOffice to enhance
display accuracy in PDF viewers. Font embedding may also be required by some printers.
Initial View page of PDF Options dialog
On the Initial View page (Figure 290), you can choose how the PDF opens by default in a PDF
viewer. The selections should be self-explanatory.
If you have Complex Text Layout enabled (in Tools > Options > Language settings >
Languages), an additional selection is available under Continuous facing: First page is left
(normally, the first page is on the right when using the Continuous facing option).

User Interface page of PDF Options dialog
On the User Interface page (Figure 291), you can choose more settings to control how a PDF
viewer displays the file. Some of these choices are particularly useful when you are creating a PDF
to be used as a presentation or a kiosk-type display.
