This issue is somewhere between 'normal' and 'enhancement'. Because intuitively the interface is very misleading, I have preferred 'normal'. The PDF export dialogue box in Impress is partly carried over from Writer. The dialogue should be 'slide' related, not 'page' related. The following changes are needed: On general tab, under 'range' 'Pages' should become 'Slides' (change of text only) 'Selection' should be suppressed - this option currently exports selected fields from a single slide. It is an option that makes sense in Writer, but the limited functionality in Impress is of little use (export of selection applies to a single slide and elements from slide Master cannot (I think) be selected for this purpose). Alternatively, if the functionality kept, change the interface to make it clear what it does, because, intuitively, users might reasonably assume that 'selection' means the current selection of slides. Documentation also to be corrected.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [OOO330m19 (build 6 / tag 3.3.0.4)]" I believe current dialog will not cause real problems. Same in DRAW dialogs I remove unrelated "See also" @Reporter Please report only 1 problem or request per Bug report!

Identical in 3.5.0b3 so have reverted to NEW
reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit) Should be an Easy Hack?
The Print dialog has the right term "Slides" in version 4.0.2. Only the PDF Export dialog still has "Pages".
Caolán: Indeed filter/uiconfig/ui/pdfgeneralpage.ui is generic ui for LO apps. Any idea how to include specific parts for each parts?

It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6b205205175b8ce599d2924550040271fd7303e5 Resolves: fdo#33983 use 'Slides' instead of 'Pages' for impress pdf export The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Lets use this bug for the "slides/pages" issue which is now fixed by the above commit and leave bug 33982 for the "selection" issue.
