The best solution that I can offer would be to script it. Any time I send someone a pdf from OpenOffice.org, I always print-to-file and use ps2pdf to create the final product for posting or emailing or whatever. You can easily write a little bash script to convert everything in a directory to pdf so you could print-to-file a bunch of documents and then create the pdf's in one blast at the end. A one-line command like this should work to convert all .ps files in a directory to pdf files: for i in *.ps; do ps2pdf $i; done -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
