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.

Hi :)
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
