May sound like an adventure, but may be possible: Extract
the compressed ods files (ZIP archive, if I remember correctly)
and you have XML files (data files and style files); I
am sure that there is a program that can interpret those
data at least "read-only" and give you a readable output
that you can forward to printer preprocessing (in order
to have PS or PDF).

As I've never really worked with Abiword, I can't tell 
you if it'll run on IA64 / sparc64 and if it will open
the ods files...

Not tested in depth, but math/gnumeric has been able to read .ods files 
for me.

how to read .ods (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) without KOffice?

2010-02-17 Thread Anton Shterenlikht
I was sent some ods (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) files.
I'm not really keen to install KOffice.
Is there another program in the ports which
could be used to view ods files or to convert
them into pdf or PostScript?

many thanks
anton
