If switched on, automatically inserted blank pages are being exported to pdf file. This is best if you are printing the pdf file double-sided. Example: In a book a chapter paragraph style is set to always start with an odd numbered page. The previous chapter ends on an odd page. Lotus Symphony inserts an even numbered blank page. This option controls whether to export that even numbered page or not.
When the Sun PDF Import Extension is installed, this setting enables you to export the document as a .pdf file containing two file formats: PDF and ODF.
