Hello, I am a new member of this forum. One of the reasons I registered was that I could not clarify following question: I cannot print to PDF using MS Office 2003. I am running it on Wine, I have Ubuntu Intrepid. Of course I can open the same xls or doc file in Open Office, but these files are very precise and sensitive, and OO distorts their fine architecture. I did not try frank print because I have no printer installed on my computer, but PDF printer works with every application except MS Office. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance !

CUPS-PDF should work fine with Office 2003, but I don't know about any other packages.

[Wine] Problem: Print to PDF using MS Office

Nothing works. When I click File -> Print, I get the message: "No printers are installed. For information about installing a printer, click Show Help". But it works well with native linux applications (like Firefox, or OOO): File -> Print -> Print to file -> PDF There is no separate option "print to disc". There is just "save" and "save as"
Thanks. Reistalled cups-printer and now I managed to get .prn files as output, which can be opened by document viewer and looks like pdf, but "landscape" type of pages are turned counterclockwise, as if it went through the printer. Any way how to convert it to PDF and rotate clockwise back to landscape?
