Post #142,994 by ChrisR 2/24/04 10:37:01 AM Reply	My requirements are on the server side and I'm not sure how well openoffice would perform converting pages in that environment. Biggest problem I have is that my drawings can get very large, being many pages long and wide. Most of the software I looked at could handle the variable length but always wanted to chop off anything too wide. So, for the sake of getting the document chopped up like I wanted (as well as efficiency), I just decided to reverse engineer pdf as best as i could.
