Group,
My wife is using a WinXP machine with OOo1.1.4. Her Impress
presentation is going well. However, she wants to share the 30-slide
presentation with her colleagues in PDF form, but in handout view.
In other words the (much loved) PDF export feature only converts the
document into a one slide per page PDF document. Moreover, the PDF
is colored; but BW is desired for printout.
Is there away to do this? You can print out the handout view, but
can you convert the handout view to PDF.
It's a simple matter under XP to install a PostScript printer whose
output port is "File". I use the Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS for this
purpose. As long as you remember to tack '.ps' on the end of your chosen
filename you're home and dry. Subsequently run the PostScript file
through GhostScript and convert to PDF. Job done!
I tried ``printing to file'' on her machine, but it wants to convert
to PRN, a format that I'm not familiar with. On my GNU/Linux machine
I can ``print to file'' into PS. Regardless, this is a work around
at best: what is really desired is more PDF export options.
PRN is the raw printer output and not what you want at all.

Peter HB
