[Solved] Conversion to PDF

Post by CatBookWriter »

One of the toolbar customizations I made was adding the Export, Export Directly to PDF, and Email as PDF buttons. Do I need to also have PDF software installed on my computer first?

OpenOffice has this built in - try /File /Export as PDF and then link your buttons to that.

I read on one website if you use Libre Office to dox it, all of the contents will be in a text box so users can only convert a small amount of content each time. Is that true for Open Office?

Entire documents can be converted at once. The comment about a text box may refer to importing PDF documents which, at least in OpenOffice, can only be done in a limited way.

Yeah that right. I am trying to write an ebook and thought that had to be done online.
