However, I've just found I also need to do a 'booklet' conversion as
well - A5 pages, printed 2-up on A4, and the pages correctly ordered.
Now, this is an option that seems to exist, interactively, only under
the 'print' menu, not on 'export as pdf'. So:
1) is this available at all for pdf conversion?
2) if so, how do I use it from within OOo basic?
currently PDF export filter doesn't take into account the printer
settings.
There is an open issue for that [1], you may want to vote for it.
Done. I've added a note too about the brochure-to-pdf aspect.
3) where on earth do I look for a how-to-do-it? api.openoffice.org
doesn't seem to have much in the way of introductory material.
if you need information on how to use the current available PDF export
configuration properties, may be the mail thread here [2] can help you.
That's certainly of interest to see how these things work. But if the
pdf export stuff doesn't honour print settings anyway, it's not going
to be of immediate help.
A better mail list to ask for this kind of information would be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'll lurk there for a bit, see what's happening.
Thanks again.
If you're using Windows, there is a program called "Cute PDF
Writer". It installs as a Windows printer and makes a PDF file.
This may solve your problem. Also, it's free. Here's the link:
