I tried to persuade my boss to let us use Open/StarOffice as a 
replacement for MS Office because OOo has built in PDF conversion - he 
said fine, if I could get the exported PDF's to work the same from OOo 
as they currently do from MS O2k then he'd include it in his submissin 
to council and include the money saving factor in the submission. I 
couldn't get the PDF's to convert properley so the inter-PDF's links 
worked, that and the layout and framework of the PDF's from OOo looked 
considerably different to those produced by O2k + Adobe Acrobat and that 
wasn't acceptable, so for now we're stuck with O2k + Adobe Acrobat.
