------- Additional comments from hey...@openoffice.org Tue Jun 1 04:58:27 +0000 2010 ------- I am using the latest version of Ubuntu "Lucid Lynx 10.04 and I assume the latest OPEN OFFICE which is supplied with that O/S...This is my problem... OK I download and copy a PDF document to the desktop..File size = 3.3MB. I send this file to "Calibre", where the file size is confirmed as = 3.32MB. Calibre converts the file to RTF..and the file size is now shown as = 1.87MB. ( which is fair enough. ) When I click onto the blue RTF..the file automatically opens in "Open Office Word Processor...File size = 1.87MB ( everything is still OK....BUT !) When in Open Office I click "SAVE AS" and send the file back to the desktop the RTF becomes a huge = 13.0 MB When I convert the same file to TXT...it now reads = 0.50 MB. When I click onto the blue TXT, the file, Calibre automatically opens in "Abiword." and file size when saved to desktop = 515.6 KB While still in ABIWORD should I save that same file in RTF instead of TXT ...the file size now shows= 2.7MB Q. What is Open Office doing to my files that causes such a huge difference in completed file size? The reason why I am making these conversions is that my e-book reader will not handle PDF...Hence I prefer to convert to RTF...but the huge end file destroys that pleasure. Please advise what I am doing wrong....Thank you hey...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
