I wanted to avoid html format, that's why I made a PDF instead. Html never looks right, it always look different in different web browsers. All the PDF files I created so far look exactly the same as the original SXW, SXC etc.
I just want to create PDF files since no other file format (I tried them all, I think) looks right when viewing. Besides, I can create PDF from Calc too, so I only need one file format for files top be sent to others. Thanks for the information anyway. In my case it's not the highest priority for links to work, I just thought it would be nice if they did. The link is to my email address, and since I am emailing the PDF anyway, the receiver already have it... Just want to thank all you guys here for your input!

In my experience, links never work on adobe PDFs, no matter what they link to. I would suggest exporting your document to HTML instead, if you can, or even XHTML (though I tried that and it didn't work on Internet Explorer, so go figure). As to your other question, though, I have no idea. --Benton Johnny wrote: >Using OpenOffice.org 1.1.5, I exported a SXW file (writer) to PDF.
