You may have heard the news about the upcoming Service Pack for Microsoft Office 2007, that will let you access more document formats like the XML Paper Specification (XPS), Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.5, PDF/A and Open Document Format (ODF) v1.1. The ODF format is becoming quite popular these days because it's a free and open file format for documents. With the upcoming SP2, available in early 2009, you'll be able to open, edit, and save documents using ODF and save into the other formats, including PDF. However, if you don't want to wait, you can go ahead an grab the ODF plugin now from Sun's website. This plugin is also compatible with older versions of Office, including Office XP, 2003, and 2000.
