Q: I plan to buy Acrobat 5.0. I am working with StartOffice 5.2: Does anyone know how good Acrobat and StarOffice work together?? [Q170]
A: As good as any other combination where you will be printing to Distiller. StarOffice doesn't have built in PDF support of any kind (no Save As PDF, no Export filters, no macros).
However if you are a programmer and know the StarOffice programming language (I think it's called Star Basic) you could build a macro similar to the PDFMaker macro for MS Office, or the PDFTweaker for WordPerfect (www.sp.uconn.edu). StarOffice does have one slight advantage over most other office suites in that it understands true bezier curves. That could help produce better looking PDF vector drawings.
