Don't equate printing-to-pdf and exporting-to-pdf; these aren't the
same thing. If I export-to-pdf from OOo I have a PDF with an index,
table of contents, URLs, and meta-data. If I print-to-pdf I have
essentially a printed document in PDF form that I can page through. I
write things like manuals (large documents with multiple
sections/chapters) and *nobody* wants the later.
I did not say it was perfect.
I will look into the URL links, index, etc., for documents
with exporting. I almost never have to deal with the links.
I print a lot of emails and Web pages. I use this as a
storage method for wanted documents and order invoices
from online shopping, just in case those web pages
to not show a printable one at the end of the purchase
cycle.
I have not created a document with OOo lately with any
need for the indexes and links.
I use to do it, but it has been a long time.
I will try it again.
Thanks for reminding me of the index/link part of the
exporting features. Exporting does a lot of good stuff,
it seems. I use the "printing to PDF" mostly for
non OOo programs. It works and it was free.

Looks like I had a mini-stroke/CVI the other
week. Today - Could not speak the names of the Streets
just down two lights, or even the street I live
on. Scared me bad. So I really thank the people on this list
for reminding me about features of OOo and new ways to work
with it. With my mind having trouble, any help is great.
Thanks again
