What's going wrong?
I use the open source word processor AbiWord and PrimoPDF.
When I have problems it's usually because I wasn't paying full attention to formatting the document in AbiWord and my goofs show up in the PDF.

nothing is wrong.
i'm using the portable edition and it works fine but i don't know how to control the quality settings (high/low).

i was just wondering if there is a way to set the pdf output quality.

Send a message via ICQ to rave Send a message via AIM to rave Send a message via MSN to rave Send a message via Yahoo to rave
i use OpenOffice.org 2.03 on Linux
file-->export as PDF --> (under Images) select:
(a) Lossless for highest quality
(b) Jpeg Quality and set it to a desired level

you can also tone down the resolution via "Reduce Image Resolution"
however im really not sure that option is in the portable version

To add to what rave says, pick out a few files and experiment.

i don't see those options so i guess they're not available in the portable edition.
