Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with "Export as PDF"

Till we can figure out your issue, you might want to try an external 
program to create the PDF file.

For Windows, I use doPDF - which is free.  I have used it from XP, 
Vista, and Win7 systems.  I have been using it for all of the other 
packages that I need a PDF printout instead of a paper one. Once 
installed, it will show up as a printer, so you will "print to PDF" 
instead of exporting.

The "range option" makes me thing Calc instead of Writer.  But like a 
printer, if you can print a "range" of pages to the printer, you can do 
the same to doPDF, since it acts like a printer, but the output is to a 
file and not paper.

I also wonder if something was corrupted in your user config files.  
That can happen, and has for me on both Windows and Ubuntu/Linux, mostly 
for printer issues before 4.1.x came out.  If so, it might be fixed by 
renaming [while LO is closed] the user config folder and then let LO 
recreate it when you open LO.  This is what you need to do for a clean 
install of LO, since it "clears out" the user profile and associated data.
