            Bug ID: 138487
           Summary: export hybrid PDF with partial document
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lionel at mamane.lu

Description:
I would like to export a document as a Hybrid PDF so that it shows part of the
document in a PDF viewer, but the whole ODF file is embedded.

This can e.g. be a Calc workbook with two sheets:
1. First sheet contains presentation of data to be shown.
2. Second sheet contains computation parameters not to be shown, such as
currency exchange rates, litre-to-gallon conversion rate, kg-to-lb conversion
rate, etc.

I want that a PDF reader shows only the first sheet. But obviously, opening the
PDF in LibreOffice Calc for editing should yield both sheets. I'm aware this
specific scenario can be emulated by hiding the sheet, but that is too subtle:
and people opening the PDF in Calc have to "guess" that there is a hidden sheet
and unhide it.

Another use case, in Writer, would be a book. The PDF shows only the book, but
the editable version has an extra page at the beginning with stuff like the
full text of the Creative Commons license that applies, instructions of
stylistic nature to follow to make changes to the document (e.g. "please stick
to British spelling" or "follow the AMS style guide" or "please submit changes
to the original author in 'track changes' mode AND WITH AN EXPLICIT
AUTHORISATION that your work is licensed under CC/variant/blahblah/unported),
...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Menu File / Export as PDF...
2. check the "Hybrid PDF (embed ODF file) box

Actual Results:
The Range options are greyed out and unavailable.

Expected Results:
The Range options are available. They affect only the PDF, the same way they
would affect a print. Still the whole ODF file is embedded, even the parts not
included in the range.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
