If you need outline converted to pdf bookmarks or active hyperlinks, references, TOC etc., you cannot do it by just printing to ps and converting to pdf. Some markup has to be done by application itself (I'm not an expert, correct me if I'm wrong). > Can someone help me finding a good solution for this problem. If your files are meant just for viewing or printing and not for browsing (hyperlinks etc.), I think ps2pdf (ps2pdf13,ps2pdfwr...) is the best solution at the moment. If you make e-books with TOC, bookmarks etc., you have to use OOo pdf converter. There is also extendedPDF macro: http://www.3bview.com/epdf-home.html It gives better control on document layout than OOo converter. However, it may be a bit outdated. For example, if you create hyperlinked TOC from non-numbered outline with the same heading text, e.g. H1: Chapter 1 H2: General H1: Chapter 2 H2: General H1: Chapter 3 H2: General - the links in pdf will not be resolved correctly (and the macro will warn you about it). Also there are (at least I have) minor stability and configuration problems when using with OOo 2.0.3. > I can open a bug report if it's needed.
