I have found that Print Selection... does a much better job at creating multiple-page PDF's than Save Selection As...

In version 9 I have not been able to get useful multiple-page PDF's with Save Selection As... I think Exporting to a PDF file does not help here either, but I have gotten good results with printing to a PDF. This may have been fixed in version 10.

I have not tried slides, just large outputs (say about 15 graphs, each taking a landscape page in a PDF). It normally results in fairly large PDF's (~ 50 M).

Best,

I sure wish we could do this without providing a one-page proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in the process. ;-}

Wow. I explored may paths, but not the combination you suggest. Thank you. -- Mark

Hi Mark, As John mentioned, the printing settings affect the pdf pages. To make it possible for the entire slide to fit on each page you need to increase the printed page size. You can change the page size through the printer driver that is accessible via File > Printing Settings > Page Setup... menu. Reducing the page margins can also help. You can access those setting via File > Printing Settings > Printing Options...

If you need to change the headers and footers, select File > Printing Settings > Headers and Footers....

I'm not sure what is the best way to go about this. Using the most recent version (that is, version next) I had no problems with pagination in a set of slides I worked on recently.

This might be dependent on underlying style sheet; I used one of the standard slide show style sheets and maybe those are better than others for conversion to pdf. Also it might be dependent on platform and underlying method for saving (Save As vs. Print to PDF; I believe I used the latter of those).
