Export to PDF is easy for LO users, but for Windows users, I always
install doPDF as a PDF document printer driver so the other packages can
also generate PDF files. I have CUPS-PDF [Linux] and doPDF [Windows]
set up as my default printer for every system I own. Then I do not
waste paper printing out pages I do not need. Also, having the PDFs in
folders for warranty, and other printouts, with the manuals, drivers,
and setup files, for my devices [computer and non] works well for me.

Hi :)
From looking at files generated by other people i think it's easier to generate Pdfs in
LibreOffice/OpenOffice. From actually playing with various programs they seem to be just
as easy but LO/AOO/OOo/"and the rest" seem to have easier access to more
options and better defaults.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] re. paperless groups ...
I do not understand the reference?
Are you saying that TDF/LO should promote the "green" issues of reducing
the consumption of paper in offices?
Are you saying that LO will help reduce the amount of paper since the
files can be directly exported as PDF files and other electronic formats
so you do not need to "print and pass" paper copied of the documents?
Yes, a paper reduction is a good idea but I do not know if that
marketing idea is something we want to get involved in promoting, or at
least for now.
Most office and other packages can have their "printing" done by using a
PDF printing client. CUPS-PDF for Linux and doPDF for Windows. Then
you do not need to print to paper to save the documents.
Right now, I am promoting LO as a free alternative to MSO. I want to
promote the abilities of using a free and open source package and not
rely on what type of packages and uses the giants companies tell the
users that the user want, and not really asking. LO users ask for what
they need and our developers try to provide it. MSO tell users that
there is a need for only a few supported languages, while LO is now at
about 100 languages and adding more every few months [it seems].
As for paperless, or paper reduction in my home/office. . . .
I personally print web pages to PDF before I make a paper copy, since
many sites do not print "properly" and there is a lot of pages "printed
in the PDF file that does not contain usable information. At that point
I only print to paper the pages that has the needed data/information and
not waste paper.
Also, is there a benefit using LO over MSO for the reduction of paper?
Or is it just the user's mindset not to print out everything, every
document and its edits, every web page or news article, etc., etc..
