------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 13 16:51:41 +0000 2007 ------- I think it might be helpful to restate this issue in a way more likely to result in solving the problem users are confronting. It appears what users are looking for is OOo functionality for creating pdf hyperlinks and bookmarks/named destinations equivalent to the hyperlink and target creation capabilities of a simple HTML editor. That is: 1) provide an author the option of designating hyperlinks as either relative or absolute when exporting a .od? document to .pdf, and 2) provide the ability to create pdf target documents that contain named destinations (targets/bookmarks), which open the pdf to the named destination when a hyperlink to them is clicked. Enabling relative hyperlinks would allow creation of a hyperlinked pdf presentation comprised of one or many documents, that could be moved to a CDROM or uploaded to a web site with little change to hyperlinks. In other words, it would enable building truly portable pdf presentations. Hyperlinks in one pdf document on a CD could take the reader to a specific location (bookmark/named destination) in another pdf document on a CD. OOo currently cannot produce pdfs like this. It seems no other pdf creation program can either. However, it appears from his example-tree documents that beppec56 found a way to get a previous version of OOo to do this (that is, prior to 2.2). This could change the way people communicate with CDs and the Internet by substituting pdf pages for HTML. Here are some advantages: 1) Avoids HTML's problem of an author not knowing how a page will be displayed by different monitors or browsers. 2) Allows an extensive pdf presentation to be created with relative hyperlinks on a desktop computer, then burned on CD for distribution, or uploaded to a web server, with few if any hyperlink changes required. It might even end up competing with HTML for building web sites (as pdf compression improves and broadband expands). 3) Allows easier creation of a hyperlinked slide presentation, as opposed to creating it using standard HTML (especially if pages need to be removed or added as a large presentation is developed). I see on the Internet that people have been looking for this pdf capability since at least 2001. It looks like beppec56 knows how to get OOo to do it. My vote is to include this functionality in future OOo releases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
