Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Standalone PDF

Here is the text I wrote for the thread on the "User's list".  I did not 
see it here as well.
----------------
For Windows, I use doPDF, which places a "printer" in you printer list 
that "prints" to a PDF file.

I know that Linux may have a PDF printer option installed by default, 
but what little testing I have used for it, I find that I prefer to 
install CUPS-PDF printer and use it.  It creates a better file name and 
has more print options, but it will only place the file in the "default" 
PDF folder.

I never heard of PDF-Redirect.  I went to there site.  I wonder what 
print options it has compared to doPDF and the non-free PDF995 and 
CutePDF?  I have been using doPDF for years on Windows, since I was 
creating e-newsletter version of the printed ones back in the late 90's 
and early 00's.  I never changed.  When I went to Linux as my default 
desktop platform in Feb 2010, I looked for a good PDF printer.  CUPS-PDF 
was the one that came up in the repository search.

So, there are many different ways to print a PDF file, 
internal-exporting and various PDF printers.  You must try a few on your 
platform and choose which one is the beat for you.
