Hi all
Just tried abiword 3.0.0 on Slacko 6.3 32 bit and it just closes when I try to save a document as pdf.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Also get some other strange message about memory when it starts up.
Screenshot attached.
T.I.A.
EDIT:
Also ran ldd and no missing dependencies.

After more research, it seems that newer versions do not ship with pdf.

Oh well, found a way around it, used cups-pdf.Can I use the PDF plugin mentioned on the PluginMatrix page?
No, this plugin hasnt been maintained in many years and doesnt ship with newer versions of AbiWord.
ABI Word has always been a bit "unstable." You should check to make sure you have these minimums per the ABIWord.org website:
GTK+ 2.12 or newer
At least 16MB RAM (embedded systems probably won't require more than
I suggest that you may want to choose the Print --> Print to File option which creates a PDF, as well. Also, ABI Word has a new version, 3.0.1 which may have fixed some items but I didn't see making PDF's as one of the fixes....
Hope this helps!

PS - You may want to try Libre Office for any significant writing projects. I've lost some projects years back with ABI so I tend not to rely on it very much, though they have made some significant changes since then...
