[PLUG] extendPDF

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

Has anyone tried extendPDF 
(http://www.jdisoftware.co.uk/pages/epdf-home.php)?

It is an OpenOffice macro that claims to create interactive PDFs 
(navigational features, etc.) with OO.  As nice as the GhostScript and 
other open source PDF makers are, they seem to be limited to create the 
plain ¨electronic paper¨ PDFs -- the open source equivalent of the Adobe 
PDFWriter.  Until extendPDF, the PDF forms and other navigational 
features were only available with Mac and Windows via the Acrobat 
Distiller, the Acrobat Editor, or one of the very expensive third party 
products.  In the Windows version of Acrobat, Adobe includes a PDFMaker 
macro for winword that translates Word bookmarks, fields and styles to 
PDF equivalents.

Well, extendPDF is supposed to add the PDFMaker features to Open 
Office.  Has anyone tried it?
