FYI I opened the MS .doc file (16.7 MB) with OpenOffice 3.1 on my Linux system and then used the pdf generator to save it as a 14.2 MB file, using the default settings of the generator (just clicked on the pdf icon). So the OOo generated pdf came in 2.5 MB smaller than the .doc source file. It displays with no problems with Adobe and KPDF readers. So, OOo makes a great pdf generator, if nothing else, and is cross- platform. Jabari on -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
