extendedPDF 0.91
- An OpenOffice.org macro that produces PDF files with extended features.

About:
extendedPDF is an OpenOffice.org macro that converts an OpenOffice document
into a PDF document. The output includes the original document's headings
as PDF bookmarks, and includes the original hyperlinks as PDF hyperlinks.
Document meta-information (such as title, author, and keywords) is also
added.

Changes:
A few bugs were eliminated. Filenames with spaces are now handled correctly
on Windows platforms. Hyperlinks in paragraphs with non-default line
spacing are handled better. Documents with missing meta-data no longer
cause an error.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Aren't PDF bookmarks the holy grail? Of course, you must have
OpenOffice.org installed, but still!

And Ghostscript, it is the non-acrobats that jump through hoops

Are you sure? I thought OO.o comes with built in export filters for
..pdf. Might be that they use Ghostscript though.

From this page http://www.jdisoftware.co.uk/pages/epdf-howitworks.php
I take it that because OO doesn't do bookmarks, extendedPDF bypasses the
OO PDF creation process entirely and uses Ghostscript.
