Thank you, Christopher, but I have found it faster to install pdftk, do
a one-button export of all pages to a "work" pdf, write a script which
creates all of the "fixed" custom reports, and then use the command line
to handle the customized breakouts.

Before, I could do this with a few clicks on a useful PDF export dialog.
I find the existence of a "crippled" "Export To PDF" menu option to be
essentially useless, and now you have pointed out an apparently
independent way to access the same functionality under two separate
options on the same menu, which feels like bad UI design to me.

I may "play around" with automating my process using the print
functions, but this is not what I would call user-friendly.

Title:
  LibreOffice 3.3.2 Export to PDF has no options

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  Before installing 11.04, when I selected File->Export to PDF, I would get a dialog allowing me to select pages to export and set a number of different options for the PDF file creation.  There is also a toolbar button ("
  Export DIRECTLY to PDF") which would export the entire document, giving you only a dialog to name it.

  Since 11.04, both options act identically.  The dialog for page
  selection no longer appears on the first option.
