I originally posted:

With Compass when you export you may select the fields you want to export. You simply have to unchecked the _id field.

before testing it. And it did not work. I was really really surprised. So I tested with another version of Compass (version 1.32.2) and it did work. The version that failed is 1.29.5 on Windows.
