using libreoffice version 6.1.1.2 on windows 7 pro.
I open a new Draw document, I insert a pdf file dragging and dropping in it, save as .odg, click on the "export as pdf icon".

0)the "exported pdf" has the "inserted pdf" document in landscape rotated 90 degree clockwise and the page orientation=portrait
1)the inserted pdf file is a portrait document and as portrait is shown by L.O.draw in .odg file
2)the .odg file >page>properties menu shows orientation=portrait
3)if I rotate 90 degree couterclockwise the "inserted pdf" in the .odg file it result rotated (landscape) in the .ogd file in a portrait oriented page, and in the "exported pdf" the "inserted pdf" result rotated 90 degree counterclockwise (landscape) in a portrait oriented page
4)if in the case 3) I set the .odg file >page>properties menu orientation=landscape, the "exported pdf" result rotated 90 degree counterclockwise (landscape) in a landscape oriented page.

the case 4) could be a workaround to insert text fields in the .odg file, but I would like to have a portrait "exported pdf" in a portrait oriented page as it is in the .odg file, how can I get this?? or it is a bug??
manythanks, pier :slight_smile:

Hi.
I don't know if this results in the same thing, but I "File>Open" a PDF with Draw. I then make sure all items are selected and grouped and rotate 90 degrees if required for the orientation I want, set the page portrait/landscape as suitable, scale the grouped items as necessary and add any text or images then export again as PDF.
The exported PDF is as I see on screen.

I am trying to make a variable of the column or row in

in other words I have a formula   if(tab4.a6>0, tab4.a6,"") this formula is entered into cell g12 in tab3 ( a tab different from tab 4)

now it turns out that tab4 has a long list of entries which I want, but each one is in the same column but a different row, further
there are many  empty rows between values in tab4.a

what i want to do is to be able to put the column entry in g1 of tab 3..and make the

have the if(tab4.a(g1)>0, tab4ag1, "")  so that I can tell the cell in which the formula is entered to grab the value
from tab4.a < that I tell it to, but manually entering the row of column a in tab4 that I want..

row value g1 = 3                         row value g1 = 240          and so on.

formula in cell changes to          formula in cell changes to

if(tab4.a3>0,tab4.a3,"") if(tab4.a240>0,tab4.a240,"")

Is there a way to do this
