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 :) Ok, so best tactic might be to 1. create a copy 2. make a Pdf so you have something ready to hand in fast 3. Meanwhile work on converting the images to pngs (or jpgs depending on whether you want quality or smaller file-size) 4. Try to get the Pdf in before your supervisor expects results but keep working at the pngs/jpgs so that you can present the editable version fairly soon after. When you hand it in also give the odt version and a link to the LO download page for the version you use. At my place my boss eventually started to cave in when i kept on going on about how LO has Desktop Publishing (DTP?) stuff that Word just doesn't have. This was borne out by him not being able to line-up pictures and logos in Word that i was then able to line up in seconds on LO. It's still uneasy but he has started to use LO too sometimes now. He does have a tendency to still start documents in Word and usually that means i have to start afresh in Writer in order to get rid of insane formatting but the thread about how to paste as unformatted text helped hugely with that.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
Hi :) step 5 (obviously) is to try to be ready to hand in the .doc quite soon after handing in the Pdf and Odt, or Od-whatever Something else i am doing right now is to talk about the imminent release of MS Office 2013, apparently due out at around the end of this month. I also quite often point out that the only real reason for upgrading is when other people start using the new one because when they do documents we produce wont look quite right in the new one. And, of course, that stuff produced in the new MS Office won't look right in our old one. I'm deliberately calling MS Office 2010 the old one. I say things like yes, the old one is better than the 2007 because the ribbon-bar is a bit more logical. My boss admitted he couldn't find his way around the new ribbon-bar so i printed off the Quick Reference sheets from the MS.Com website to help people get used to the old one we just bought. Obviously it's not going to be called 2013 this time, at least i'm fairly sure it isn't but it helps people get an idea about when MS Office is likely to be released, because otherwise they seem to think that i am talking about something that isn't going to happen for another decade or so. When i talk about MSO 2013 i try to get 2010 and 2007 versions into the same sentence. (Yes, its happening soon and we are quickly going to be seen as out-of-date boss ;) ) The only reason we bought all the new MSO 2010 was because the new finance spreadsheets have macros that only work in 2010. (Aww gee boss, are these going to work in the new one?). Since finance were getting MSO 2010 obviously everyone else 'had' to have it too. So i am being a really Pita at work but it's getting some people to actually give LO a go as long as i can keep it secret about it being free and just 'sell it' on it's high quality 'Desktop Publishing' features such as handling images better. Btw and should never be used at the start of a sentence, same with but. Very, very rarely you can get away with it without looking like a complete moron but it's not worth the risk.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
Also, a pdf can be marked up/annotated if your supervisor only needs to comment and not actually edit. With a PDF you are also assured that your supervisor will see the exact layout that you see and not have the layout reflowed due to some slight font or other difference (as has happened with me).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
Hi, Thank you all for the suggestion. I think that the PDF solution might be the best way, although I am not sure if it will be peacefully accepted by my supervisor. The worst case scenario will be me constructing a nem file with png images and keeping the original done with draw in a safe file to edit afterwards. We will see.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export
I think the pdf is really the best solution. However, your supervisor might want to put comments into the document while reading it. I tested a pdf-document created in writer (LO 3.5.6.2) yesterday but I could not add comments. When I wanted to make the Comment Mark UP toolbar in Adobe Reader (9.5.2) visible, I saw the information Only available when document rights are enabled. I assume that the rights must be given when you create the pdf-document. I know that LO you can create various types of pdf-documents but I don't know how to set the right for comments mark ups. Maybe someone else in this community can explain about such rights and there settings. On 17.10.2012 09:28, Orlando Figueiredo wrote: Hi, Thank you all for the suggestion.
