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.

Hi :)

No.

Most of the apps all go together.  Base is sometimes a separate thing that can be added but i don't think Base 
works on it's own.  In Gnu&Linux (such as Ubuntu, Mageia, RedHat) it might be possible to just use your 
normal package manager to find and install something else that does a convert to pdf.  In Windows there are a few 
things, perhaps "doPDF" but they are independant projects.  Google search (or Bing or whatever) might 
help you find a 3rd party app to do the job.

Regards from
Tom :)

Does Libre office have a stand alone PDF application? ie - does Libre provide the PDF editor by itself without all the other features in the 200 MB download - is it possible to install only the PDF tool without all the other features ? All responses appreciated. Thanks, Paula
