OOo produces better PDFs.
Really? Do you have some comparison details? The question was: Is there an equivalent to CUPS-PDF that can run on Windows? Regarding OOo's PDF export; I like it but it doesn't even come close to the configuration abilities of PDFCreator. Nor does OOo's PDF export set up a virtual PDF printer that other applications can use. http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator PDFCreator is a free tool to create PDF files from nearly any Windows application. Key Features: * Create PDFs from any program that is able to print * Security: Encrypt PDFs and protect them from being opened, printed etc. * Send generated files via eMail * Create more than just PDFs: PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PS, EPS * AutoSave files to folders and filenames based on Tags like Username, Computername, Date, Time etc. * Merge multiple files into one PDF * Easy Install: Just say what you want and everything is installed * Terminal Server: PDFCreator also runs on Terminal Servers without problems * And the best: PDFCreator is free, even for commercial use! It is Open Source and released under the Terms of the GNU General Public License. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
