Exporting files

XHTML Export

OpenOffice.org has the ability to export files to XHTML. This feature is not installed by

default. You can either choose this filter on first install or add it later using the procedure

described above for AportisDoc and PocketWord filters. On the Select OpenOffice.org

Modules page of the Setup Wizard, click the plus sign next to Optional Components and

select XSLT Sample Filters. This will install the XHTML export filter.

Export to PDF

In each application there is the ability to directly export to PDF. This industry-standard file

format for file viewing is ideal for sending the file to someone else to view using Acrobat

Reader.

You can export directly to PDF using a button on the toolbar or by choosing File >

Export.

If you use File > Export, you are asked to enter the filename for the PDF file and then the

PDF Options dialog (Figure 5) opens.

Note: If you use the Export Directly as PDF button, you are asked to enter the filename for the

PDF file, but you do not get a chance to choose a page range or the print quality.

To export a range of pages, use the format 3-6. To export single pages, use the format 7;9;11.

If you want, you can export a combination of page ranges and single pages, by using the

format 3-6;8;10;12.
