Here's the original problem: On 27 Apr 2007, at 10:44, mike scott wrote: "I've just been hit by a bit of a conundrum.
I have a document, formatted as A5 pages, and which will be printed on A4 paper as a brochure. No problem there; works nicely. But I need to send it to a non-OOo user for copying. I had assumed I could create an appropriate pdf (with the 2 x A5 correctly arranged on the A4 page) for him to simply print, but it seems this isn't an option. He's not a technical type, so I don't want to start messing around with persuading Acrobat to print '2-up' (even assuming that wouldn't wreck the formatting.) Likewise, there'd be a problem sending a Word document, I assume, and he'd have to at least check any formatting. Short of printing it myself and driving over, I'm stuck. Any ideas please?"

I missed the entire original problem, so this may have been answered. Why didn't the export to PDF feature in Writer work? And to add to the print to PDF file solutions for XP...I have been using PDF995, which works great. It has popup ads when you print to PDF, until the software is purchased for $9.95. Here's the website if you want to check it out. http://www.pdf995.com/index.html mike scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 27 Apr 2007 at 9:11, NoOp wrote: > On 04/27/2007 02:44 AM, mike scott wrote: > > I've just been hit by a bit of a conundrum. > > > > I have a document, formatted as A5 pages, and which will be printed on > > A4 paper as a brochure.

So problem solved. (IIRC last time I looked these either costed, or printed their logo on the output; things seem to have changed for the better). I'm wondering whether it's worth raising an issue as a suggested improvement for OOo to do this directly.
