Description: A second sheet with a defined print range can be viewed in the print preview window but when it is targeted to a pdf export using the menu shortcut button then the entire file -in my case TWO sheets- is exported to pdf. The FILE> Export as PDF.. range parameters can be set to Selection/Selected sheet(s) which will work as prescribed from the FILE> Export as PDF.. function but that selection parameter is ignored if the menu "shortcut" button is used from within the print preview pane. Steps to Reproduce: Create an array of random junk about the size of an A0 sheet of paper Create a second sheet and any cell to contain =sheet1 any cell within the A0 range Drag fill an array about the size of an A4 sheet of paper Select a portion of the sheet 2 array to roughly fit an A4 sheet and Format>Print Ranges>Define Select print preview and observe that the desired print area is featured Press the export to pdf button and observe that the created file is the entire workbook FILE>Export as PDF activate the Selection/Selected sheet(s) radio button>Export Observe that the created file now only contains the A4 portion of Sheet 2 Return to the print preview pane and observe that the desired A4 portion is still focused Export to pdf and observe that the parameters are ignored and a full file is again produced. There is a workaround: Instal/Use BullzipPDF print driver which remediates all the errors encountered with the default MS print to pdf driver Actual Results: Full file pdf print (export) Expected Results: Selected portion pdf print (export) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.2.6.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b0ec3a565991f7569a5a7f5d24fed7f52653d754 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: sv-SE (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded
You can use Menu/File/Export as PDF Also, you can edit the toolbar to add that with an icon, through Menu/Tools/Options/Toolbars
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) > You can use Menu/File/Export as PDF > > Also, you can edit the toolbar to add that with an icon, through > Menu/Tools/Options/Toolbars You didn't read the bug report - it doesn't work consistently depending upon which route is taken and simply never worked when activated from within the print preview window I could perform a screen grab, edit the portion I need in Irfanview and save as pdf - but that's also about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike
