Hi all,

I think this can be of interest for the bravest of you ( I think
that's all of you actually ;)  ):

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61139

This adds some new simple options to the way PDF is generated, I used
it a starting point in understanding PDF export in OOo. In the issue
proceeding you can see all (spec, patch, etc...).

The target is 2.0.3, but for the bravest among you, I include here two
patches that can be applied to tag OOO_BUILD_2_0_2 of ooo-build to
obtain a 2.0.2 rel with those enhancements, up to now (work is still
under way, see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63199)

But there is a price to pay:
- the help for PDF stuff gets completely broken
- the translation for the existing before patches PDF stuff is half
lost, as strange as it may seem..., so you end up with only English
and German as text.

Have fun and feel free to ask on this list for info and all the rest.

Of course after the patch applying, your PCs can get infected with
flu, catch a cold, your HDU can suddenly stop rotating,  and may be
other assorted weirdiness, so NO guarantee given, as usual.
