I could swear I have seen messages on this e-list regarding exporting to PDF from OOo 3.0. Of course, I wasn't using 3.0 until just today, so I didn't save anything about 3.0. I can search in the archives, but the search function doesn't seem to allow sorting by date. So I get pages and pages of posts in random date order back to 2002.
I am using 3.0 on Ubuntu Intrepid x86_64, installed from the download file. I have used OOo since 0.9 and I have never had a problem with a PDF exported from OOo. However, today I exported a simple text file to PDF and Adobe Reader 8.1 prints garbage. Okular prints it, but its print dialog box is messed up - lots of bugs. Evince, the least fully featured PDF reader I have, prints it just fine. And all three of them display it fine on screen. It's just that Adobe Reader prints stray garbled characters randomly on the page and that's all. I am printing to a Laserjet 4M+, which has both PCL5 and genuine Adobe PostScript Level 2. The output from Adobe Reader is messed up regardless of which driver I use, although the mess is slightly different. Somewhere there has to be a bug report list or some documentation. Can someone point me to it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
