Exporting
LibreOffice can export documents to PDF (Portable Document Format). This industry-standard file
format is ideal for sending a file for someone else to view using Adobe Reader or other PDF
viewers. The process and dialogs are the same for Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw, with a few
minor differences mentioned in this section.
