00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Draw - Basics of Layers and Password Encryption PDF.
00:09 In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of layers.
00:12 You will also learn how to protect a Draw file using password encryption,
00:18 export it as PDF.
00:21 Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:30 Let us open the file 'Route Map'.
00:33 What are Layers?,Layers are like transparent sheets, placed one on the top of another.
00:42 There are three layers to every Draw file.
00:44 The "Layout" layer is displayed by default
00:48 that is where we create most of our graphics.
00:51 The "Controls" layer is used to store control elements such as buttons and forms.
00:57 The "Dimension" layer is used to depict dimension lines or measurement lines for complex drawings.
01:06 For example, a drawing of a house must contain exact measurements of walls, positions of electrical wiring and so on.
01:19 Let’s print three maps that show the route from the 'House' to the 'School'.
01:26 Let’s call them Map 1, Map 2 and Map 3.
01:31 Map 1 shows all the landmarks in the area.
01:35 In Map 2, let’s show all the objects except the two 'Lakes', the 'Stadium' and the 'Commercial Complex'.
01:43 In Map 3, let’s show all the objects except the 'Park'.
01:48 Do we need to create three separate maps to show these?
01:51 No. The Draw provides a solution to this with the help of Layers.
01:58 This way, there can be only one map file with many layers of information.
02:03 We can print or view a combination of layers using one Draw page.
02:10 Let us add some layers to the RouteMap.
02:13 Click on Layout layer.
02:15 Right-click and select Insert Layer.
02:18 The Insert layer dialog-box appears.
02:22 In the Name field, type: Layer four.
02:24 You can add any title and description that is relevant to your drawing.
02:30 Check the boxes “Visible” and “Printable”.
02:34 Click OK to exit the dialog-box.
02:37 Click on "Layout" layer once again.
02:40 On the Draw page, select the map and ungroup it.
02:44 Now, let us select the Lakes.
02:46 Press the Shift key and select the Stadium and the Commercial complex.
02:52 Next, right-click and select Cut.
02:55 Then click on “Layer four” layer and paste them.
02:59 They are pasted in the same positions as in the Layout layer.
03:04 Click Layer Four once again.
03:07 Right-click to view the context menu and select Modify Layer.
03:12 The Modify Layer dialog-box appears.
03:15 Uncheck the box “Visible”. Click OK.
03:18 Objects in Layer Four are no longer visible.
03:21 The objects are present physically but are not visible.
03:26 Click Layout layer. If the tab is not seen then press the left-arrow button till the Layout layer is visible.
03:35 We have our Map 2! In the same manner, we can create Map 3 also.
03:42 Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.
03:45 Create two routes from Home to the School Campus.
03:49 In the RouteMap drawing, create each route on a separate layer so that they can be printed as two different maps, each displaying only one route.
04:01 Let us now learn how to export the file as a PDF and also password protect our Draw file.
04:10 First, let’s save the Draw file “RouteMap” as a 'PDF'.
04:14 From the main menu, select File and click “Export as PDF”.
04:19 The PDF dialog-box appears.
04:21 First, let us select the “General” options.
04:24 Click the “General” Tab.
04:26 Under Range, let us select All as we are converting all the pages in the Draw file to 'PDF'.
04:34 Under Images, we shall select “JPEG compression”.
04:38 This is the most common format that is used for compression.
04:42 Now, click on the Initial View tab.
04:45 We will keep the default values displayed in the dialog-box.
04:49 Now, click on the Links tab.
04:52 We may have inserted links in the Draw file.
04:55 Again, let’s keep the default values set for Links.
04:59 Now, let’s assign a password to protect the 'PDF' document.
05:03 To do so, click on the “Security” tab.
05:07 Click on the Set open password button.
05:10 The Set Open Password dialog-box appears.
05:14 In the field “Password”, type any password with which you want to protect your file.
05:20 I will set my password as “Protect101”.
05:24 In the field Confirm, I will re-type my password- “Protect101”. Click OK.
05:31 Next, let’s set the permission password to print or modify the document.
05:37 Click on the Set permission password button.
05:41 In the field Password, type the password of your choice. I will type ProtectAgain0.
05:49 In the field Confirm, I will retype the password ProtectAgain0 and click OK.
05:57 Notice that permissions for Printing and Changes are active now.
06:03 It is always a good practice to set passwords with a minimum of six characters, including numbers and special characters.
06:14 Under Printing, select the option Not Permitted.
06:18 The 'PDF' can be printed only if the correct password is provided, else it cannot be printed.
06:25 Under Changes, select the option Not Permitted.
06:29 The Password can be edited only if the correct password is provided, else it cannot be modified.
06:36 Now, let us click the Export button at the bottom.
06:41 The Export dialog-box appears.
06:43 From the left panel, under Places, click on the location where you want to save your file. I will choose Desktop.
06:53 Under File type, click PDF - Portable Document Format.
06:57 And click on the Save button.
07:01 The Draw file is converted to a PDF file and saved on the Desktop.
07:07 Let us switch to the Desktop now.
07:09 On the Desktop, double-click on the RouteMap PDF file.
07:14 The Enter password dialog-box opens.
07:17 In the "Password" field, let's type the wrong password Protect111.
07:23 Click on the Unlock Document button.
07:26 You will notice that the password' field is cleared and we are prompted to enter the password once again.
07:35 In the Password field, let’s type the correct password "Protect101".
07:40 Click on the Unlock Document button. The PDF file opens.
07:46 We have converted our Draw file into PDF and successfully password-protected it!
07:53 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
07:57 Here we have learnt: * the basics of layers.
