I think you do misunderstand me; perhaps I was a little brief. The 
original claim was that exporting to PDF takes no account of defined 
print ranges and exports the entire document. (I didn't check that or 
experiment with it.) We are not talking about the separate facility, 
in the print and export dialogues, to print or export the currently 
selected range, are we? You suggested that it was not a bug: in other 
words, that you expected export as PDF should disregard defined print 
ranges, as we were told it did. But the documentation about print 
ranges makes clear that they are supposed to apply equally to 
printing and exporting, in other words that exporting to PDF should 
export only material within any defined print ranges and not other material.
