[Discussion] Open Office export PDF but no graphics

[jimscott at joplin.com]

I have Open Office 1.1.5 running on ECS 1.2 and I thought for a long time that OO   
PDF conversion utility just failed to do graphics (text always works).   
 
I created a Golf Tournament Flyer with some graphics that prints directly to a PS   
printer from OO on os/2, but after exporting it as a PDF, as always, the text   
loads into the PDF viewer, but I see no graphics. 
 
Today, I decided to use a Win-XP laptop to do the conversion, so I could place a   
PDF file on the web for download.  I emailed the OO doc to the Win-XP machine   
also running OO, viewed it, did the conversion to PDF, then emailed the PDF file   
back to me for uploading to the website.   
 
Just for grins, I opened it in the PDF viewer on os/2 and the graphics were   
*again* missing, even though I had just viewed them using the Adobe viewer on the   
XP machine. 
 
I think I have a video driver missing, wrong, or other video problem, because I   
cannot run any graphics programs on this machine in Win 3.1 sessions, such as   
Corel.  Text files no problem. 
 
QU: What is missing? 
 
ONe more thing... 
 
I had removed Snap Graphics on this os/2 machine, installed MGA drivers for a   
Matrox Millenium, later installed the GRADD drivers.  I have not been able to   
figure out how to get the video back to Snap Graphics  The system is set up for   
1600x1200. 
  
I think both of these may be related, and due to some missing component or   
setting.  Any help?
