Hi all

Does anyone know of a plugin or similar which will allow the insertion of interactive links in a pdf file prepared in oo for on screen display.

Maybe I should use scribus but that does not jump between text & endnotes/footnotes like oo does while drafting a document.

TIA

Barry



I have just tried this in openoffice writer and interactive links work for me - 
i assume you are referring to a link in a document that will move to a footnote 
- or a link that, eg, opens a web page. Both work for me once converted to a 
pdf.

what version of oowriter are you using, and what program are you testing the 
resulting pdf in?


Thanks for the replies...

Oo 1.1 and I have looked at the pdf in Acroread, xpdf, & kghostview. The links to footnotes/endnotes do not appear. I want links to footnotes and endnotes, also from an index.

I tried output to html. the same links appear & work but the footnotes are immediately ahead of the endnotes.

I then converted the html file to ps. Kghostview only saw the 1st page.

I then ran ps2pdf. In acroread all the links appear and are recognised by the cursor, but the references have been scrambled

Arrrh well, looks like I need oo2... so after 1 1/2 hrs browsing It appears that there are no mandriva rpms on the web. I did find the mandrivaone live cd download but ..... the d/l time looks like 36 hrs on dialup.

Has anyone downloaded the mandrivaone live cd please

TIA

Barry
