PDF Printing

I use AcroPDF in windows, but will it work in Linux(ubuntu dapper or sabayon?) or is there something similar I can make pdf documents with?

I make my pdf files with open office. A description from another site....

The OpenOffice suite of programs are capable of creating PDF files without any extra steps on your part. You can access the OpenOffice programs by clicking on the UB Logo and going to the Office group. Programs belonging to the OpenOffice suite are prefixed with "OpenOffice.org."

Once within an OpenOffice application, simply click on the Print option within the File menu. Select PDF converter from the drop-down menu and click on the OK button. The file will be placed in your home directory with the pdf extension added to the original filename.

Adobe reader 7.0 is installed and working fine in SuSE 10.2 for me...

Strange, I don't have the PDF options when printing in open office. I have something that will view PDF's, it's just a document viewer.

Don't know why I don't have it.

Sorry bout that--
It should be under FILE>EXPORT as PDF then a box appears asking where to save the file to -- name it save it and you should be good to go.

What distro are you running

That worked, thank you. I'm still trying to get the cups-pdf to work, but the export works just fine.

I'm running kubuntu 6.06
