Thanks. As I said, it's more about reducing the footprint of my app. Most of my clients install it by downloading it and if I could have just one or two Java classes that printed ODF files, it would make it easier to install my system. It would also make maintaining the package easier since OOo has moved to the newer install formats since .msi files are a pain to work with on Linux (in regards to opening or editing them). It was much easier to manage the install when it was essentially the same for Windows and Linux (and I could control it with simple command line arguments!). I take it that the printing issues are the same if I want to just convert it to, say, some PDF files? Hal > Hal Vaughan wrote: > > I look into this every now and then.
