Using the extendedPDF macro with OpenOffice.org/X11

There is a separate version of this tutorial addressing NeoOffice/J, which behaves differently in a number of key places.

The extendedPDF macro is used to create structured PDFs (those with bookmarks, sections, etc.) in 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.)

(This is a stub topic to remind 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)

Steps

  1. Setting up a "dummy printer" (if you have no printer)
  2. Getting OOo to see the (dummy) CUPS queue
  3. Configuring extendedPDF [printer name]
  4. Fixing the oo_pdf_helper.pl script
