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.

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.
