Hi, I hope that this is the proper venue to ask this question, otherwise I will get 30 or so replys telling me otherwise.
I produce a monthly newsletter for an organization to which I belong. I have been using MS Word to do it, but I really would prefer to produce it in Open Office on Suse. This month I tried to produce it in Open Office and was able to do it, and I thought that was grand. Goodbye WinXP, hello Suse! My file size in Word was about 4400kb, and OO file size was 396kb for the same document saved in opendocument format.
I have to convert the files to PDF files for two reasons, the first is that we don't want the document to be easily altered once it is sent out. The second, and most important from a practical aspect is that the file size has to be small enough to be downloaded by members who are on dialup. The file size of the Word/PDF conversion is 97kb, and the OO/PDF conversion is 402kb. I use a personal limit of 300kb for document size when I send out the newsletter, otherwise it takes too long for the dialup users to download the document.
I would like to know if there is a way to get around this. I tried to zip the file and the resultant OO pdf file was 397kb. I don't need to zip the XP/pdf, it is small enough already.]
You can try saving it in doc book format, and then using docbook2pdf. see: $ man docbook2pdf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
