Open Office PDF Out

[Howard Gibson]

   Has anyone tried the PDF output of Open Office 1.1.2?

   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.

   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.
