Embed OpenDocument file This setting enables you to export the document as a .pdf file containing two file formats: PDF and ODF. In PDF viewers it behaves like a normal .pdf file and it remains fully editable in %PRODUCTNAME. PDF/A-1a Converts to the PDF/A-1a format. This is defined as an electronic document file format for long term preservation. All fonts that were used in the source document will be embedded into the generated PDF file. PDF tags will be written. Tagged PDF Selects to write PDF tags. This can increase file size by huge amounts. Tagged PDF contains information about the structure of the document contents. This can help to display the document on devices with different screens, and when using screen reader software. Export bookmarks Selects to export bookmarks of Writer documents as PDF bookmarks. Bookmarks are created for all outline paragraphs (Tools - Outline Numbering) and for all table of contents entries for which you did assign hyperlinks in the source document. Export comments Selects to export comments of Writer and Calc documents as PDF notes. Create PDF form Choose to create a PDF form. This can be filled out and printed by the user of the PDF document. Submit format Select the format of submitting forms from within the PDF file. Select the format of the data that you will receive from the submitter: FDF (Forms Data Format), PDF, HTML, or XML. This setting overrides the control's URL property that you set in the document. Allow duplicate field names Allows to use the same field name for multiple fields in the generated PDF file. If disabled, field names will be exported using generated unique names. Export automatically inserted blank pages If switched on, automatically inserted blank pages are being exported to pdf file. This is best if you are printing the pdf file double-sided. Example: In a book a chapter paragraph style is set to always start with an odd numbered page. The previous chapter ends on an odd page. %PRODUCTNAME inserts an even numbered blank page. This option controls whether to export that even numbered page or not. Embed standard fonts Normally the 14 standard Postscript fonts are not embedded in a PDF file, because every PDF reader software already contains these fonts. Enable this option to embed the standard fonts that are installed on your system and that are used in the document. Use this option if you expect to have a better looking or more useful standard font than the font that is available in the recipients' PDF reader software.
