Operation Manual

Range section
• All: Exports the entire document to PDF.
• Pages: To export a range of pages, use the format 3-6 (pages 3 to 6). To export single
pages, use the format 7;9;11 (pages 7, 9 and 11). You can also export a combination of
page ranges and single pages, by using a format like 3-6;8;10;12.
• Selection: Exports all the selected material.
Images section
• Lossless compression: Images are stored without any loss of quality. Tends to make
large files when used with photographs. Recommended for other kinds of images or
graphics.
• JPEG compression: Allows for varying degrees of quality. A setting of 90% works well with
photographs (small file size, little perceptible loss of quality).
• Reduce image resolution: Lower DPI (dots per inch) images have lower quality. For
viewing on a computer screen, generally a resolution of 72dpi (for Windows) or 96dpi
(GNU/Linux) is sufficient, while for printing it is generally preferable to use at least 300 or
600dpi, depending on the capability of the printer. Higher DPI settings greatly increase the
size of the exported file.
Note
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) images with embedded previews are exported only as
previews. EPS images without embedded previews are exported as empty
placeholders.
Watermark section
• Sign with Watermark: When this option is selected, a transparent overlay of the text you
enter into the Watermark Text box will appear on each page of the PDF.
General section
• Hybid PDF (embed ODF file): Use this setting to export the document as a PDF file
containing two file formats: PDF and ODF. In PDF viewers it behaves like a normal PDF
file, and it remains fully editable in LibreOffice.
• Archive PDF/A-1a (ISO 19005-1): PDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term preservation of
documents, by embedding all the information necessary for faithful reproduction (such as
fonts) while forbidding other elements (including forms, security, and encryption). PDF tags
are written. If you select PDF/A-1a, the forbidden elements are grayed-out (not available).
• Tagged PDF: Tagged PDF contains information about the structure of the document’s
contents. This can help to display the document on devices with different screens, and
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.
Allow duplicate field names: If enabled, the same field name can be used for multiple
fields in the generated PDF file. If disabled, field names will be exported using generated
unique names.
• 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).
