Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Standalone PDF
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 was the one that came up in the repository search. 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.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Standalone PDF
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.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Standalone PDF
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.
