Star Office and PDF

[Lee Einer]

Hi, All-

I attempted this morning to convert a resume in Star Office format to 
Adobe Acrobat, and it became an adventure. This is what happened;

Print to File in Star Office 6.0 gave me the option of generating a file 
in either Postscript or PDF format. Selecting the PDF option generated a 
file with a PDF extension-- in PS format. Not the desired outcome...

Undaunted, I converted the Postscript version to PDF using ps2pdf. This 
was a qualified success. Qualified in that although the result was an 
Acrobat document, the spaces between words were somehow deleted, making 
the result look less like a resume and more like some demented ransom note.

I finally went to Adobe's website and used the tryout version of their 
web based file conversion service, which converted the PS file to 
Acrobat format without error.

How can I get the Star Office print to file option to work for PDF? And 
why did ps2pdf not function as it should? How can I fix?
