</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Has anyone tried the PDF output of Open Office 1.1.2?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I hit the PDF button at the top of the screen, and got an output very different from what I get when I print to the PDF device. The main problem is that the PDF button does not know how to handle PostScript objects. I get the EPSI preview embedded in my PDF file, although the PostScript object prints properly. If I print to the PDF device, I get the PostScript object properly embedded in my file.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> It looks like Adobe Acrobat 7 compresses output to the printer a bit. The fonts and the page are noticeably squished. XPDF's output looks like printer output straight out of Open Office.</FONT></P>
