Re: [PDF-Basics] OpenOffice.org

Rich, You can create a PDF from a web page with OpenOffice.org but I don't know about Quark.  I have seen references to Quark on this discussion list many times but I don't know what it is.  If you want to send me a Quark file, I'll test it for you.

George Rich Sprague wrote: I think a point of clarification is necessary.   OpenOffice is a "free" suite of products, muchlike Office. It is not like Acrobat which will make PDF files from existing documents. One either needs to create a document in OpenOffice, or convert an existing document to OpenOffice.   If I am missing something here, please jump in.   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of G Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 7:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF-Basics] I know this has been mentioned before but I think it is worth mentioning again.  OpenOffice.org will create PDF files.  It will also read MS Word files.  So, Steve, you can use OpenOffice to create PDF's from Word files. The best part is that OpenOffice.org is free from http://www.OpenOffice.org. George Rich Sprague wrote: No, Steve.   You need Adobe Acrobat. You create a document in Word, or many other applications, then print a PDF document. Some applications have a built-in export feature, but Word isn't one of them. www.adobe.com   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of steven hartsock Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 5:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] HI: Is it necessary to have Front Page installed to create PDF files and documents in Word?
