Hi Everyone,

I'm a new member of the list and haven't yet gotten actively involved, but I do have an important question that you may be able to help me with (important to me, at least).

I'm working on a documentation team for a software development company, and its a new position for me. We're using openoffice and knowledgetree. I have the need to do a concordancer-like search (like Adobe Reader does) across multiple directories for openoffice docs. I can do this for PDF's with Adobe reader, and with several other tools I have. But I don't have any tools that will do this for openoffice. The concordancer type results I'm referring to is where it doesn't just show you what documents contain a word or phrase, but brings back a list of every occurrence within every doc as a live link to that occurence in that doc. It also shows the immediate context of the term. You can run a search in Adobe Reader 7 or 8 to see what I mean.

In lieu of that, my next question would be if anyone knows of a way to transform a directory tree full of odt docs into pdfs without having to open and print each individual file.

Hope you don't mind my posting this question in this forum, but it seemed to me that since I wanted some help from tech writers about openoffice, there wouldn't be a better place to do it.

Thanks,

Mark Anthony
