Ubuntu
openoffice.org package

OpenOffice no longer permits saving docs in PDF form.

Asked by pops

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Have always saved docs in PDF (as well as in .doc and .odt)Tried to do so a few days ago and could not. Have I disabled something ? The option does not now even appear in the list of formats available in the 'save as' window ('guardar como' -- I use the Spanish version). Have not directly done anything in OO directories/archives. HAVE received some update instalations from Ubuntu. Thanks. Pops - John McBride, Puebla, México

Hi John. I believe that there should be an "Export as PDF" option in the File menu. See http://imgbin.org/images/1379.png

Dear Pops, I am happy to draw your attention on the fact that there are the following points for you:
i) A tool icon on the standard tool bar. If not visible, pl. use link Alt v+t+t (View menu>Toolbars>Standard) for bringing the whole bar with the icon in it. Then just press the icon with mouse. Very easy.
ii) File menu>Export as PDF option. Or use the link Alt +f+d. You are done.
Kindly be informed that its not a bug at all.

Can you help with this problem?
