Blessing to you Mr. Martin,
I apologize for not answering this more promptly but I deal with over
a hundred e-mails daily and a fair part most be encrypted so the
discussion list isn't that which I can take time for until the
weekends. I managed to spot this as I was forced to re-do my E-Mail
filters and when I got to the discussion groups I found that your
e-mail had mistakenly been shunted to one of the 2 Linux groups I
belong to. I am in the central time zone area but due to Indiana's
weirdness am in the eastern time zone. I'm in a place called West
Lafayette, IN. the home of Purdue University. (no, I graduated from
Thomas Edison State College.) That project would be an immense help.
If I can assist I would be glad to, but don't forget my responses will
be slow. Thank you for your response. I do appreciate it.
I Remain~ In Health & In Service,
Dr. R. M. Cadwell

Dear Dr. Cadwell:
I see your friend may have some of the many issues that many others who I
support have encountered to widely varying degrees, not only with Open
office, but with import/export issues in many other applications and
platforms (operating systems).
Many of these problems are more circumstantial than proprietary issues, and
they do have many workarounds that often relate to the deeper issues of how
one uses the software one already has.
This has prompted me to draft a help file for this based on my experiences
with such issues since the days of DOS.
This will take a bit of time to write, but I will eventually either send it
to you or, if in the end, the size is too big for normal email. I will first
send you an existing help file with instructions how to receive it by
splitting the file using the 7-zip open source application.
BTW: What time zone are you in? I am near Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and am
on Eastern Standard Time (same as NYC).
Best Regards,
Bruce Martin

Subject: [discuss] PDF Issues
Open Office discussion list:
I recently had the occasion to talk to a friend whom I had introduced
to Open office and she had the problem of having saved a file ( for
School ) as a PDF. Unfortunately while OO will save as a PDF it
appears to be as proprietary as M$ since M$will not see nor load it.
Adobe will not recognize or load an OO pdf file. Only OO will read it
and sometimes not then. So now she must put out for Word 2007 and she
has the latest Adobe Reader. No one but the rich or businness folk can
afford to have the full editing capable version. From what I am
hearing both Adobe and M$ have found proprietary means of blocking
OO's implementation of the PDF format. Unfortunately she will have to
redo the paper and she blames me for turning her on to OO since this
one will cost her a grade. When are we going to get a PDF format for
OO and both adobe or M$ can read and convert both ways? Or is it
always going to be M$ as the default standard as they continue to rip
off open source coding? Thank you.
Rev. Dr. Cadwell
