--- Comment #13 from brucehohl <brucehohl at gmail.com> ---
In Writer the "File > Print" default is "Y = All Pages" and the "File > Export"
default is "Y = All".  So the user gets the SAME default output for printing or
PDF creation.

In Calc the "File > Print" default is "Y = Selected Sheets" and the "File >
Export as PDF" default is "Y = All".  So in Calc the user gets DIFFERENT
default output for printing versus PDF creation.

This inconsistency (and annoyance) could be resolved if for Calc the "File >
Export as PDF" default were changed to "Y = Selection" (The default for a
spreadsheet should be 'selection' not 'all' because spreadsheets can easily
contain hundreds of pages of data that would never be printed or exported to
PDF.)

Perhaps this change would cover the reasons for this enhancement request.  And
if enhancement request 54052 was filed in part to allow the user to get Print &
PDF creation defaults in sync then it would be partially satisfied.  Thoughts?
