I believe that OpenOffice can save as a PDF. The other option is to install the cups-pdf printer and then you can print right to a PDF file. I used this with a2ps often to hand in assignments in school as it highlights code and puts 2 pages on one sheet in a very nice layout.<br>

Hi,<br>
I assumed this would be easy, but apparently<br>
it's not - I need to turn in my final paper in<br>
either PDF of Postscript format, but now I see<br>
that OpenOffice does not produce either of those<br>
two formats. The tools the university recommends<br>
are either Windows-only or cost a fair bit. The<br>
only option I see as possible from my Ubuntu<br>
distro is Tex (which can output both ps and pdf)<br>
but I've always found Tex a bear to use (and I<br>
ought to be spending my time finishing my<br>
paper and not learning tex to compose my paper.)<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much - Ed<br>
<br>
