I am using LO 4.3.62 on Windows 7. In Calc, when I want to save a diagram as image, I get a lot of formats offered, but PDF is not among them. My workaround in order to process the image with pdfLaTeX: exporting as eps, then converting to pdf on the fly, via `\usepackage{epstopdf}`.
Hello, you can do it now: Select the chart -> Export as PDF -> Selection
Thank you. Maybe the diagram context menu should also have "Export as PDF" next to "Export as Graphic"?
(In reply to Robert Pollak from comment #2) > Thank you. Maybe the diagram context menu should also have "Export as PDF" > next to "Export as Graphic"? I would rather just add the missing “PDF” option to the list of formats in the Export dialog that appears when clicking “Export as Graphic”.
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #3) In that case the PDF settings should be set to lossless compression and no bookmarks.

Unfortunately, PDF is not handled as a graphic filter. Adding PDF as an option to the export filter list would be a kludge. Would probably be cleaner to go ahead and reuse the existing Export as PDF dialog in its own export chart menu item. =-refs-= http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/source/core/graphichelper.cxx#205 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/filter/graphicfilter.cxx

Well, then I guess we should follow a menu structure similar to this: Export This Chart > As Raster/Vector Image… As PDF…

Change importance medium minor -> medium normal i think this bug is important.
Still here in 7.2.2.2.... need propably a decision, improve this export dialog or user has to use the ordinary pdf file export menu.
If no possibility to fix, i suggest to remove unsupported pdf format here.

The PDF entry in "Save as Image" was added with the following commit (probably a generic code not taking the deficiency with chart->PDF export into account): https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7d76bb251e0c88ff17282a33b801a5d17a434af5 author Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@collabora.co.uk> 2016-06-24 13:00:46 +0200 committer Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@collabora.co.uk> 2016-06-24 11:51:01 +0000 vcl: add graphic export-as-pdf filter
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=77d2bbaa18e0be5347d7bd7167b245264789e0a4 sc export chart as graphic: handle PDF This fixes the menu item to produce a pdf containing just the chart, instead of a 0 byte pdf. I'm not sure if the bug should be closed or not. One can argue that the perfect output would be a pdf file with a single page, and the size of that page would be just the chart and nothing else -- similar to the SVG output. The current output is still a PDF export of the document -- just the content is limited to the chart, i.e. the page size is typically A4.
As long it is an export of a full page (or of even two pages) instead of the image (like for svg or eps) the option shouldn't be offered under "export image" as it is misleading.
