So, there are many different ways to print a PDF file, 
internal-exporting and various PDF printers.  You must try a few on 
your platform and choose which one is the beat for you.
I use PDFCreator from PDFforge  which is a 
virtual printer on Windows like doPDF and many others — but is also Open 
Source.

I do not think doPDF if a true "FLOSS" package, but it is free.

I have not worked with PDF-Redirect or PDF Creator before.  It might be 
interesting to see if they can be installed side by side and compare 
their features.  Maybe do the same for the "default PDF printer" for 
Linux vs. CUPS-PDF.  Maybe have ones that work for MacOSX listed as 
well.  THEN list the options that are part of the Export-to-PDF that is 
a part of LO.


I know I use doPDF and CUPS-PDF when I need to use non-standard fonts 
[like ones that look like they have snow on the letters or ones that 
have letters inside Christmas lights], or ding-bats and icon related 
fonts.  Export-to-PDF does not embed those type of fonts, yet.  So I 
need a PDF printer that can embed the needed fonts.  It makes the files 
larger, but they will print exactly they way I want them to.


I use CUP-PDF many time a day.  Any email, web page, or other non-LO 
document, that I want saved or printed out later.  I print it to PDF 
then choose which pages I print to paper.  I then avoid a lot of pages 
that I do not need to print out.  I saved maybe 2000 sheets of paper 
that way, plus now that I can print duplex, I can print the PDF file 
double sided vie the default PDF viewer. LO will not print duplex pages 
for my inkjet duplex printer.  So I must use print to PDF first.

Since LibreOffice is a Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) project I
think we should recommend other FLOSS projects: I use (daily) and recommend
PDF Creator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/) which does exactly
the same as doPDF under Windows.

Hi,

In Linux (I run Ubuntu.) you can install cups-pdf. When you want to 
print a document, select cups-pdf as the printer. It has worked very 
reliably for me. For Windows, I know nothing about doPDF. Source Forge 
has PDFCreator for Windows, and it is free from spy ware, advertising, 
etc. Use it like cups-pdf except in Windows.

No.

Most of the apps all go together.  Base is sometimes a separate thing that can be added but i 
don't think Base works on it's own.  In Gnu&Linux (such as Ubuntu, Mageia, RedHat) it 
might be possible to just use your normal package manager to find and install something else 
that does a convert to pdf.  In Windows there are a few things, perhaps "doPDF" but 
they are independant projects.  Google search (or Bing or whatever) might help you find a 3rd 
party app to do the job.

Does Libre office have a stand alone PDF application?  ie - does Libre provide the PDF editor by itself without all the other features in the 200 MB download - is it possible to install only the PDF tool without all the other features ?  
All responses appreciated. Thanks, Paula

For Windows, I use doPDF, which places a "printer" in you printer list 
that "prints" to a PDF file.


I know that Linux may have a PDF printer option installed by default, 
but what little testing I have used for it, I find that I prefer to 
install CUPS-PDF printer and use it.  It creates a better file name and 
has more print options, but it will only place the file in the "default" 
PDF folder.


I never heard of PDF-Redirect.  I went to there site.  I wonder what 
print options it has compared to doPDF and the non-free PDF995 and 
CutePDF?  I have been using doPDF for years on Windows, since I was 
creating e-newsletter version of the printed ones back in the late 90's 
and early 00's.  I never changed.  When I went to Linux as my default 
desktop platform in Feb 2010, I looked for a good PDF printer.  CUPS-PDF
