Re: [libreoffice-users] quotes about Freedom
Proud to be a LO and Ubuntu user. Freedom for all. O. 2012/11/2 Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Hi :) Searching through photos for the cover of my company's AGM i stumbled on some great images (sadly i can't share) and this quote To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela We often get caught-up in the fact that LO is a product and in the details of how it works or where something is not quite working and maybe how to work-around that. I just wanted to congratulate everyone here for doing a fantastic job of working hard towards the goals stated by Nelson Mandela in that quote.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
Thx rost52. I am familiar with the LO pdf export options. If you choose FileExport as PDF... you have all the options that you need to make a good commentable pdf.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
Hi, When you choose File Export as pdf... a new window appears and on the right there is one chceckbox that says Annotated pdf. Choose it. I am not sure about the english name of that checkbos as I am using LO in Portuguese. All the best.
