            Bug ID: 138490
           Summary: documentation of "whole sheet export" PDF export
                    option is not useful
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lionel at mamane.lu

Description:
The documentation says:

  Whole sheet export

  Export one sheet per page.

Hu? I don't understand what that option does. Sheets are always on different
pages in a print, and in a PDF.

How about this text:

Ignore each sheet's paper size, print ranges and hidden nature and put every
sheet (even hidden sheets) on exactly one page, which is exactly as small or
large as needed to fit the whole contents of the sheet (not only its print
ranges).

Steps to Reproduce:
Read the documentation for Calc's "PDF Export General", section "Whole sheet
export"

Actual Results:
Be utterly confused by the terse sentence that doesn't actually explain what
the **** this option does in a way that is understandable to a user that
doesn't know about this feature (which is usually why people go read the
documentation).

Expected Results:
Understand what this option is about.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
