The key point for me with direct .pdf output from OvationPro would be
that I could then easily share documents that I have created on
OvationPro with people on other platforms. It is not so much that I
would want to print them directly here or even take them to commercial
printers.
For example, I have created a long document (about 150 pages), with lots
of colour pictures, about my family history that I would like to share
with some of my relatives who only have Windows based computers. To be
able to send them a .pdf file would be ideal but to get it printed first
would cost a considerable amount of money.
I know one answer is to try and persuade them to load the read only
version of OvationPro but that will be more complicated for them and some
of them are not very computer literate!
