<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Using the extendedPDF macro with OpenOffice.org/X11 ==<br />
<br />
''There is a [[NeoJExtendedPDF|separate version]] of this tutorial addressing NeoOffice/J, which behaves differently in a number of key places.''<br />
<br />
The extendedPDF macro is used to create structured PDFs (those with bookmarks, sections, etc.) in [[OpenOffice.org|OpenOffice.org]]. Marc Liyanage has a tutorial on configuring this macro for use with OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11), but there are some additional details and steps needed to catch "gotchas" and produce better results. (''The best results can be obtained by using NeoOffice/J, however.)''<br />
<br />
(This is a stub topic to remind [[User:Sardisson|sardisson]] or someone else to edit and post the info. In the meantime, the details can be found in this thread at trinity: http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=5220#5220)<br />
