Edit: Thank you, Ron! Here's what I got from Writer using 3" by 4" with .05 margins.
Properly justified text, with Andalus font. I even inserted a test image. Looks superb!
I have gone through about 50 pages and don't see any formatting errors. It looks like the JBL isn't trying to use OCR on this file. Only drawback is not having the book title and percentage readout, which I will gladly live without to have a beautifully formatted text!
Interestingly enough I tried something similar with Word 2007 last week and had horribly bad results... Open source software wins another round! /Edit
Awesome Ron, thanks for the information. I guess I'm about to reinstall open office!
If I can't get it to something I like I'll probably ask for your numbers.
By the way, when looking at other pdfs...
Some pages were messed up because the JBL looked like it was trying to OCR the text and only getting certain pages or words to convert, which of course throws off the font and everything else. Do you think that is what was going on with your original problem?
Perhaps there is a font that the JBL has no chance of succeeding with OCR. And that would lead to perfect pdfs that would stay as intended.
