linux as the ability to install a fake printer thas is, in fact, a filter
that translate everithing to ps/pdf/...
with this you have the ability to generate pdf from a printer-capable app.
(like notepad, outlook, ie, etc.. )

can this help?

also you can, with nfs or samba, share your "My Documents" folder, to put
here the filter output (a pdf, .ps,... etc file)

nota:
de todos modos me parece, maņos, que es una tontada usar el formato pdf
cuando el formato html esta tan bien distribuido. los pdf no sirven mas
que para daņar el medio ambiente dado que directamente la gente los envia
a la impresora en lugar de leerlos en pantalla. Claro que cuando la mayor
parte de la gente lleva cuatro aņos o menos delante de un ordenador es
normal que se cansen de leer en la pantalla. Al final lo pagan los bosques
ecuatoriales de brasil y los bosques virgenes de algunos paises de la
antigua urss ... y en medio todos los que viven en las zonas (que son
expulsados). Asi que el formato pdf no solo es antiecologico, responsable
de la esquilmacion de los bosques tropicales, sino del holocausto de
algunas tribus y pueblos del mundo. Personalmente me parece una frivolidad
que en los tiempos que llevamos la gente no supere la adiccion del papel.
En cuanto a que rtf no soporte imagenes.. me pareces que estas en un
error, probablemente se trate de una falta de caracter en el filtro
conversor que se hicieron aqui los amigos estos del oberon. Pero no estoy
seguro.
