No, I'm not familiar with any of the OOo development interfaces. Until now, i've simply been a user. I was hoping to not have to do a lot of reading, as I'm not sure I can justify billing my client much time, and certainly not research time, for something that they have only in passing mentioned as a possible enhancement. If it was something quick and easy, I could just do it.
I'm not interested in just making it a pdf, the document archive maintains an editable copy (xml) and a read-only copy (pdf) of the documents. The pdf conversion program is already done. Thank you for the links. When I come back from my trip, I'll do some private research on this issue. Will probably be too late for this go around on the application though. I'm not clear on whether you are talking about a solution that can be done without opening OpenOffice or not. This functionality needs to work on any desktop that my application is installed on, which may not have a copy of OpenOffice on it.
