Thanks.

We've been discussing this on the ODF developers list. And although it 
would be easier to convert HTML->PDF, we decided it wouldn't be worth 
doing because you lose too much information when you convert to HTML.

We're now exploring other ways to convert ODF to PDF. Every method has 
disadvantages, but it looks like we're leaning towards using XSLT to 
make an XSL-FO and then use Apache's FOP to make the PDF. An advantage 
of this approach is that we'd also get an ODF viewer for free. The final 
package would be about 5.6MB which, though not fantastic, is a lot 
better than 300MB for OOo2.

If you're interested in the discuss, please join the ODF-devel list:

odf-devel-subscribe@opendocumentfellowship.org

Cheers,
Daniel.
