KNOWN ISSUE
  1. When libreoffice quickstarter is running, mso2pdf may not run.
     Simply disable the quickstarter will fix the problem.
  2. Using pdf90(1) in package pdfjam(1) to rotate pdf may be more natural, 
     but the output of pdf90(1) is a little buggy and may not be properly
     displayed on kindle.
