I am unable to export documents from Writer as pdf files. I am using LO 5.4.0.3 under Windows 10 (Anniversary). When I click on Export as PDF… the Writer window loses focus, but the PDF options dialogue does not appear (it is not hidden behind another window, I have looked), no PDF is created, and I cannot return the focus to the Writer window. My only option at that point is Task Manager.
The last time I attempted to export files as PDF was in November last year, under Windows 7, using whatever was the current LO version at that time. I never had any problem.
The problem is possibly wider than described above. I have, in theory at least, two other options for producing PDF files, namely Microsoft Print to PDF and Foxit Reader PDF Printer. Both of these produce PDFs, but the PDFs are empty (no text).
I do not believe the problem(s) can be with the files I am attempting to export/print. They include .odt files I have produced myself in LO Writer, and a Microsoft Word .doc file produced by a friend on a Mac and opened by me in LO. Exactly the same problems appears with all of them when I attempt to produce PDF files.
Can anyone help?
