Unwanted dimension lines in pdf export...

eyemeansit

I have created a 5 page document with lots of graphics and text. I want to put this document on my website for others to download if they wish. However, because some of the fonts are not readily available to all, I want to provide the file as a pdf document, which, I guess embeds the font somehow.

At any rate, here's my problem. Every time I export the document as a pdf file, I get little dimension lines in the upper left part of the document, showing the size of the top and left margins! Even when I go to the "dimension lines" tab in Draw and uncheck the "visible" and "printable" options, the dimension lines still export.

These dimension lines are not visible in any of the layers of the workspace of the document, however, they are visible on each icon in the "page pane" (the panel at the left where you select the page to work on).

I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these things? Thanks much!

(PS... using OO 2.0.2 on Mepis 6.0)

Anybody have any clues?

I finally got around this problem by opening the Draw document, selecting the entire 5 pages of content, and pasting it into a new Draw document. This (for whatever reason) made it so that the dimension lines were visible and selectable in the workspace, and I was able to delete them, and then export the document as a .pdf file.
