FAQ
What is the difference between Export as Image-Only Document and exporting to PDF?
- After you export as an image-only document, the text is embedded in images.

Why can’t I directly edit the text in the exported file?
- This feature converts the document content into image content.
- The exported result is mainly intended for viewing, archiving, and sharing.
- If you need to make changes, return to the original Writer document, edit it, and export again.
Which output formats can I choose?
- Open Export as Image-Only Document and choose a save location.
- Select
.DOCor.DOCXas the save format. - Confirm the export and wait for the file to be created.
