            Bug ID: 118848
           Summary: Export to PDF should (optionally) exclude videos
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: freedesktop at richardneill.org

Description:
I just made a slide deck with a video in it, and when exporting to PDF, the
video was still embedded in the PDF, resulting in a 230MB PDF! Actually, the
PDF does allow this to be played back in some viewers - but most people
wouldn't expect that.

So, please add an option to the export dialog box that converts a video into a
still image. After all, a PDF is frequently intended to be emailed around and
printed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a presentation, containing at least one video.
2. Export to PDF


Actual Results:
PDF contains the video - and it is possible to play it back.
That's a nice feature of the PDF, but it makes the file ridiculously big, and
it's probably not what the user expected.

Expected Results:
PDF should not contain a video - it's expected to be a printable format.
Actually, some people may find this useful, but many would not. So I'm
suggesting making this an option.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Add an option on the PDF export dialog, to "Convert Video to Still"
