ps2pdf13 is my friend!   That is the opensource funcational equivalent of
distiller. BTW, did you know Linux was started in 1971 solely to help AT&T
publish their documents!  Of course Linux has the right tools... just
knowing what to use!

I did nix the weird fonts so maybe that helps. But mainly the trick is:
ps2pdf13 -dPDFX bookfile.ps  tolulu.pdf

Eureka!

Thanks Dan Lewis,

I think I'm getting closer. I can convert everything to Courier and
then get the .ps accepted. But then the images are lost.

Bitstream Vera Sans
Bitstream Vera Serif
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
AR PL KaitiM Big5
East Syriac Adiabene
Courier

I do not have Times Roman listed but do have Times.

Other than text I have about 70 embedded PNG, embedded Calc chart,
embedded Calc table, Table of Contents,

So now I try a PDF produced by OO 2.0.3 with only Times. No. Does not
work with LuLu:
Your document could not be created: Font "Times-Roman" is not
embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
Font "Times-BoldItalic" is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
Font "Times-Italic" is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?

So now I try Courier. No. Does not work with LuLu:
Your document could not be created: Font "Courier-Bold" is not
embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
Font "Courier" is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
Font "Courier-BoldOblique" is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
Font "Courier-Oblique" is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?

What am I missing?!? I just need to get from ODT->PDF->LuLu.

Courier-only to .ps to LuLu. Good.
Courier with TOC to .ps to LuLu. TOC becomes blank pages. TOC was in
Bitstream Vera...
Courier, TOC object removed and replaced with text but still in
Bistr... Same TOC pages blank.
Courier-only with image to .ps to LuLu.  Images are lost.

I've also tried DocBook XMl and MS XML. These are shown as XML with tags.
I also tried RTF but OO crashed on trying ot product the RTF. So, I'll
try this again on another computer without such a hodge podge of SW.

Are you using PDF? If so, how? How are you embedding the fonts?

Thanks!

P.S> My whole document as a .ps is over 600MB so the test iterations
on trying ps are long.
