Since LO 7.5, we can include comments in the margin of a PDF export using the GUI (see bug 77650). If the cursor is in a comment, and the PDF export dialog is used, the resulting PDF is one single blank page. Steps: 1. Open attachment 184179 [details] 2. Click inside one of the comments 3. File > Export as > Export as PDF 4. Tick option "Comments in margin" 5. Click "Export" Result: PDF is one blank page. Interestingly, using "Export directly as PDF" (or the PDF toolbar button) uses the same settings (I think?) but does export the PDF properly. High priority as PDF export is a very central feature of Writer, and the resulting PDF is useless.

Confirm all the details from the description, including the working version of Directly export as PDF.

That's because it prints the selection instead of the full document. Better described, and bibisected, in more recent bug 153725. Marking as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 153725 ***
