I highly recommend PDFCreator: http://www.pdfforge.org/ http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator their SourceForge pages: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796 [I recommend that you scroll down and download the "PDFCreator-0_9_3_GPLGhostscript.exe" file. This includes the necessary Ghostscript drivers. Note: 32-bit only at this time] > > I'm wondering whether it's worth raising an issue as a suggested > improvement for OOo to do this directly.
