The error is not related to a specific file. It is even reproducale with a new created file via start splash screen.

Deleting the user profile doesn't make a difference.

Simply:

- Start LO
- Create a new file
- Select File -> Export to pdf
- Select "Seelction"
- Choose your path
-> error message apears

Environment is a standard install with 3 additional extension:
-CT_Calc
-CT_Writer
-Duden Korrektor

I will install 3.6.3 RC1 and test further

Tested it with a couple of file and could not reproduce the error if i apply it to previously saved files.

However bug occurs on a new and empty calc file given that one didn't enter anything. Related to the error message that no print preview is possible due to lack of data.

Sebastian: Thanks for the update.

I can confirm this problem.

* open a new spreadsheet
* File > Export as PDF
* General > Range > All or Selection Pages (enter 1)

results in:
Error saving the document Untitled1:
Write Error.
The file could not be written.

Setting to NEW.

Using the instructions from comment 0, comment 2, and comment 6:

- Debian 7 x86_64 running v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409 the error message is displayed as indicated. 
- Crunchbang 11 x86_64 running v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3fdd4f069d5436cf39708004af7fda8175fbc4c2 there is no error message and the empty PDF is produced as expected.

Seems like v4.4 may include a fix for this issue.
