You already have a OOo file so that's a good place to start. First, check on Tools -> Autocorrect -> Options that "Remove blank paragraphs" is checked. Then highlight all the text you want to modify and do Format -> AutoFormat -> Apply. This should remove hard line returns in the middle of paras then remove blank paras. Then print to pdf. -- If only me, you and dead people understand hex, how many people understand hex?
