Description: Exporting to pdf does not include footers. This feature is available when you export a Google doc to epub, would make life better if available in LO export to epub. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create Writer document with footers. 2.Export to epub format. Actual Results: Exported epub does not retain / include footers. Expected Results: Expect footers to be retained and in their proper place in epub created when exporting from LO. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.0.5.2 Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
Description should have said "epub," not "pdf."
I confirm it with Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: b0e291a7efcd3af2a72d0b622b1f1b84723f011f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-06-30_23:43:40 Locale: en-US (de_DE); Calc: CL Same with header.
This already works if you set layout method to fixed. Reflowable content has no pages, so has no header or footer, either. Anything left to fix here?

Thank you for the information. But I think there is some more information needed within LO. At least within the documentation. What I would prefer is - if you choose "Export to EPB directly" a warning like "Your document contains header or footer. Please choose 'Export as EPUB' if you want to remain them"
Export Directly as EPUB bypasses the option dialog - not useful here. Export as EPUB gives you an option to select a Version - EPUB 3.0 - EPUB 2.0 The average user is not going to know what this means. That 3.0 is fixed layout (like a PDF), and that 2.0 is reflowable without layout like headers and footers. And there is nothing in the Help page for that dialog which explains anything. So unless a user knows the EPUB standards/specifications they are operating blind.
Sorry, this is misleading. EPUB 3.0 supports both reflowable and fixed layout. https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/01/ref_epub_export.html is relatively clear on this, see the "layout method" section. Is there anything that you would detail more there?

Is there > anything that you would detail more there? Current Documetation: Layout method Determines if a reflowable or a fixed layout EPUB will be generated. Reflowable: The content flows, or reflows, to fit the screen and to fit the needs of the user. Fixed: Gives greater control over presentation when a reflowable EPUB is not suitable for the content. If there are certain cases (like header and footer), where reflowable EPUB is never suitable, this cases shoulds be mentioned here
OK, I'll take care of this.
