Well, I may have found the problem (thanks to Mike’s kind offer to look at samples), and it’s intriguing (and slightly embarrassing). I think it’s a memory problem.
I’m using an oldish computer with insufficient memory. I made up a sample page, using a variety of fonts, including commercial fonts and some I made myself. I made PDFs with three different procedures (export directly from Openoffice, print to PS file for conversion with ps2pdf, and CUPS-PDF). All were perfect. Then I made a PDF of a document I am editing: about 350 pages (500 kb). The fault was there. Then I made a PDF just of the offending page. The fault is not there. It seems a strange way for Openoffice to react to insufficient memory (and it doesn’t do anything else strange, as far as I can tell), and yet this seems the only explanation of the empirical evidence. Thanks to all for your kind help. Time to start hinting about a new computer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
