Re: [libreoffice-users] How many of you deal with the Linux Users Group [Facebook]?

Hi :)
When exporting as Pdf from LibreOffice or OpenOffice the dialogue-box has a
lot of options to play around with.  At least 1 of those options makes the
Pdf more accessible.

All those options are remembered and set as last used when you open that
dialogue again.  So once you find your preffered combination of options you
can "Next" swiftly through.

I found the accessibility option made the file-size quite a lot larger.  It
was only an issue for me about a decade ago when i reached 12 pages with
lots of images for a newsletter.  Around that sort of size i started to
bump into emailable limits (8Mb?) for some email systems.

MS Office doesn't seem to give many options for the Pdfs it produces ...

Regards from
a Tom :)
