Yes! OpenOffice.org does indeed convert any file to a universally readable PDF file without the use of any other software. This is one of the ways in which OOo 1.x beats MS Word and the features in OOo 2 improve PDF support.
But through the magic of free software, you can create PDF files from any program that can print: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ This free package creates a virtual Windows printer that you can print to from any program. I use it all the time for inferior programs that do not have OOo's capabilities :) ... and it's great. -Alan --- Michael Axtman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OpenOffice 1.1 has an "export to PDF" option which I > used on a simple experimental document.
