Bug Description

In OpenOffice.org Impress it is only possible to export the Presentation itself to PDF, while this is the most important feature, it would be nice if this was also possible for the Notes and Handouts.

See the discussion upstream.

It is already possible to export notes: just check the appropriate box in the export to pdf dialog...

Sorry if I missed it, but I can only see howto on how to _print_ handout. Any ideas?

I have examined both the Export As PDF dialog and the Export dialog and they do not have any check boxes for printing the presentation in Notes or Handout format. Indeed, I would have expected such a option selection there unless the selection were tied to the current presentation tab selection. The information I see in the Export As PDF dialog is:

Name
Save in Folder/Create Folder
Director select widget
Add/Remove Filetype widget
File type selection widget
Cancel/Save button

No format selection check boxes

The Export dialog is essentially identical

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Pascal De Bruijn / Bernhard Reiter, this:
- is a clearcut upstream issue. Your welcome to send this to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport .

- won't be fixed in LibreOffice Packaging.
Resolving as libreoffice (Ubuntu) => Won't Fix Wishlist. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice. Thank you for your understanding.

Although it's already possible to add the presentation *notes* to the exported PDF, there doesn't seem to be a way to add the *handouts*.

Most importantly, there should be an option to export *only* handouts, or notes, to PDF, omitting the actual presentation slides.

in 3.5.1 not yet implemented in File->Export to PDF
Meanwhile on Linux we should use File->Print for exporting handouts to PDF
