Have you tried the newer 1.6.3 Koffice for this? I just got a new build the other day, loaded a PDF file in full editable form into KWord and of course, you can save as PDF from KWord or print to pdf.
I assume you mean kword. Yes, kword can open PDF, and modify them, but that's not the intention. The intention is to open a PDF Form as in Acroread, where you can only fill the fields the author left for filling, and not being able to touch anything else. There is a special version of acroread that allows saving the data: that's what I want, in Linux, and free.
Here's an example of a form-fillable pdf from my employer... http://easier.co.la.ca.us/JobsInfo/empapp.pdf ...which you can fill out in *nix but not save unless you're in Wintendo.
In fact, I just opened a test PDF in kword and the text flow was broken. That would be unacceptable if I were to submit such a for to the administration.
I just tried to open one of their official forms and it took two..three minutes to open it. These things include calculations and possibly javascript. When it finished opening it, the appearance is very far from the correct one.
Also, check out "cups-pdf", which allows you to create a virtual printer for direct saving/printing to a very good pdf file!
I see no cups-pdf in opensuse 10.2. Is it new in 10.3, perhaps? :-?
I have my ways to print to pdf, but that wasn't my exact question, anyway.
Yeah, I suppose you could print to another PDF but that doesn't solve the "issue." I just asked Adobe when this feature will be available. -- kai -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
