Exporting to PDF
OpenOffice.org can export documents to PDF (Portable Document Format). This
industry-standard file format is ideal for sending the file to 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.
Quick export to PDF
Click the Export Directly as PDF icon to export the entire document using your
default PDF settings. You are asked to enter the file name and location for the PDF
file, but you do not get a chance to choose a page range, the image compression, or
other options.
