I was editing down a book to a single section of a chapter to print using the integrated editor. This created an EPUB that needed converting to a suitable format for printing. PDF was an obvious choice, but the cover image was inserted, and wasn't desirable for this use case. Upon seeing the option for DOCX, I assumed there may also be a similar option for PDF, but when there wasn't, I tried deleting the cover image and metadata from my edited down EPUB. This meant that a "screenshot" type cover got generated and inserted anyway. I also tried using the DOCX output but the generated document's style was quite a bit different than when viewing or converting to PDF, at least unacceptably different to my preference.
It was easy enough to use GhostScript to strip the first page. But, I thought I might not be the only person to come across this scenario and it seemed like it might nicely add feature parity to output plugins servicing similar use cases.
I'm also curious, why does the option exist for DOCX?
