cmus Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I hope by posting this message I save someone the 3 hours it took me to figure out what was going wrong with my attempt to export a document from open office as a PDF file. I had a large (45 page) document with some intricate formatting and inserted graphic files. When I would go to export it as a PDF a couple of pages would look really wierd with text and images moved to strange locations around the page. I thought I had some strange formatting issues surrounding the images I had inserted and tried every different solution I could. The trick that finally made the export work smoothly was to remove a couple of fractions that were included in the text (e.g. I changed 1/4 to 0.5 and 3/4 to 75%). Stupid bug with the export program. Hope none of you have ad the same problem and given up before figuring it out. Aloha, Craig [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 re pdf. Does OO allow you to edit the pdf file or is it simply youcan export a document as a pdf file once you've created it? I wasn't too impressed with OO when I tried it initially but looking at soem of these posts i mighht have a second look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
