Omitting hidden slides from PDF export

[baford]

Hi - I often use the "hide slide" feature in Impress (right-slick on a slide and select "Hide") to eliminate slides from the presentation without deleting them entirely (e.g., because I might need them later). But when I export the presentation as a PDF, OpenOffice always seems to export _all_ the slides including hidden ones, and I can't find a way to make it export only the non-hidden slides. Am I missing something trivial, or is there really no way to do that currently?

Thanks,
Bryan

Looks to be a known issue: Issue 24326: PDF Export does not allow to exclude hidden slides, or other options available in print.

Are the hidden slides printed?

If not, as a workaround, you can use a "PDF printer" or Postscript to PDF conversion utility to make your PDF.
