I don't thank god Hi :) I assume you mean "I don't. Thank god" at least that looks like what you mean. I laughed when i realised what you really said, if it was read pedantically. Luckily (for once) people haven't been so pedantic this time so you don't have to worry :) Good luck and regards from a doubting atheist Regards from Thomas :) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

As with Windows, I need to have a PDF printer to save web pages and email printouts without using paper. Have you tried to increase the memory and the number of objects in the Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Memory section? This image issue came up a few months ago, if I remember. This was the only thing that worked for me, but I do not remember what was the final "fix" for the one who had placed the thread. Graphics cache use for LibreOffice --- 20 MB default go to 50 to 100 MB or maybe 150% of the uncompressed size of your graphics/images JPEG compresses so it may need to be an uncompressed value, depending on how LibreOffice deals with compressed images. I JPEG graphic [shown in GIMP's Image property] is 536 KB in file size, but is 93.6 MB in memory. That is a big difference. You may have to make sure the cache is dealing with memory size, not file size. memory per object --- 5.2 MB default go to at least needed for the largest graphic/image Cache for inserted objects Number of Objects20 is default go to double the number of images/graphics/objects you have included in your document. If you do not have enough objects placemarks in your cache, there are bound to be viewing and printing issues cropping up. That should help. LibreOffice>Print do you use "Reduce bitmaps"? Or any of the reduction check boxes. The "Normal" and "High" print quality and the DPI could be looked into to help with some of the file size issues that could come up from time to time, but may not help with your problems. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Do you use Windows? If you do, and you still have troubles with exporting to PDF, try doPDF - pdf-printer. I use that on all the Windows computers I setup so any program can print to PDF instead of to the paper printer. I used that as my default PDF printer, except for LibreOffice, when I do not need a paper copy of the web site, or email, etc.. So if you use Windows, then you could see if that works for you. I still think that you should increase the Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Memory to larger size and increase the number of objects as well. If you have a lot of images, you will need to have the objects' number to be larger than that by at least 5. That is what I do and it seems to help. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] batch conversion pdf
Hi. A linux script in a file run in the directory with the files to convert should work but then I found a simpler example at the site below. Make a copy of your odt files in case. http://muthusuba.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-called-hidden-features-of.html Should be able to adapt for odt files. Change your directories as appropriate. steve On 2011-05-03 11:01, Helmar wrote: > I´m not a advanced linux user.

I´m not a advanced linux user. But you probably can do that using command line options. Other linux users can help you.
