Description Oliver 2020-02-04 11:44:11 UTC
Description:
The Option for
Direct Printing is printing only the selected tables. (Option is marked in settings)
The page previes show only the selected table.

Direct Export to PDF exports alle tables. I think it should only export the selected Table.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc and create 2 tables with different content
2. select the second table
3. Click on the Button for direct Export to PDF

Actual Results:
All tables are exported to PDF

Expected Results:
Only selected table should be exportef


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Oliver, possibly you want a new opportunity like "Direct export to PDF (only selected)"?

If you use a File->Export to PDF... dialog after selecting of cell range, then you get PDF with only selected table.

Help https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/02/07090000.html for Export Directly as PDF says: 
"Exports the current document directly as PDF." So, current behavior is correct.
As Roman noticed, we may convert this to new enhancement to add new button to Export Current Sheet Directly as PDF.

OK, my mistake. Thanks für the Link.

Then it is not a bug.

But it is inconsistent, becaue direct printing and print preview shows/prints the selected table, but the direct pdf export exports the hole document.

I think we not need a new Button, but the Button für direct PDF export should do the same as direct printing. Direct printing pay attention to the settings under LibreOffice Calc-> Printing.

Through customization of the Toolbar it's easy to add the Button for Menu/File/Export as Pdf. And to avoid mistakes delete the button for Export Directly.

I can agree it should be the default.

Agree with the request. Direct printing should respect the configuration Print > Print only selected sheets.
