------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 30 07:07:02 -0800 2005 ------- This has been tested with OpenOffice versions: 1.1.4 and 1.97.87 (680m87 snapshot build) on Mandrake Linux 10.2 (development version - "cooker") and Fedora Core 3 Linux. Builtin PDF export in OpenOffice fails to subset Type1 fonts (but succeeds with TrueType), and instead embeds full fonts in PDF files. With some Unicode fonts, which contain lots of glyphs for various alphabets (e.g Nimbus Sans L, Nimbus Roman No9 L), this inflates the size of resulting PDF files up to hundreds of KB, even for small text-only documents! I've gathered some testcases here: http://olo.ab.altkom.pl/domowa/qa/openoffice/huge_pdfs/ And the whole issue has been recently discussed by many users on OOOforum: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=16029 Contrary to what has been said in issue 20370, Type 1 fonts are definitely subsettable - e.g. Ghostscript subsets both TrueType and type 1 when generating PDFs, and you can see an example of a PDF with subsetted Type 1 and TrueType fonts here (Ghostscript was the generator): http://olo.ab.altkom.pl/domowa/qa/openoffice/huge_pdfs/Cwiczenie3_ghostscript.pdf http://olo.ab.altkom.pl/domowa/qa/openoffice/huge_pdfs/oo_1.1.4_mdk10.2_extendedPDF_using_GhostScript.pdf A workaround is to print to PostScript and use a converter (e.g. ps2pdf) to generate PDF files. There is an excellent OpenOffice macro library that adds a GUI for this operation: it's called extendedPDF, available here: http://www.jdisoftware.co.uk/pages/epdf-home.php However, having OpenOffice generate nice PDFs natively would be certainly much better. Even setting up extendedPDF requires some plumbing experience and is definitely not for majority of users... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
