It's more with creating them, and, specifically, creating files compatible with Adobe Reader. Most people who will be reading such pdf files as I create will be viewing them with Adobe's pdf product. So far, all documents I've created with KWord have been compatible with Acrobat Reader (maybe 4 or 5 documents?). Those created under OpenOffice and, if I recall correctly, Abiword, have not been compatible. Since I'm running a system that is largely Debian Woody, I can't easily upgrade the KOffice I have. Does anyone know of other apps that create/convert to pdf that are largely compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader? Is there another list where I should pose this sort of question?
