[gentoo-user] Open Office: PDF import

[Philip Webb]

Has anyone succeeded in importing a PDF to Open Office Impress or Draw ?
I've added the add-on from from under  /usr/...  (as it says),
but when I try to 'insert file' using a 1-page PDF ,
it says 'File could not be opened' (after some CPU activity);
OO Writer opens it as  98  pages of garbage.
I tried rebooting & re-opening OO, but not change.
There's nothing in OO Help re the add-on or importing PDFs.
I'm using OO 3.0.1 .

Where did you read about this plug-in?
I was not aware this was possible, but am interested in how this is
supposed to work.

It in the post inst message of emerge. It points you to the plugins in
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/.

I've been using it for a while without problems. I installed it on my
user space using the extension manager... Sometimes it does not open the
objects in a correct way, maybe have relation with the version of the
pdf. For example, the pdfs generated in m$ project takes very much time
to open with high CPU activity, it happens too when I open it on evince
so I think it's a problem of m$, as usual...

Regards...

I created a PDF from a 1-page .odt file created with OO 3.0.0
& had the same negative result.  The file opens correctly in Kpdf.

This is a 64-bit system: might that have something to do with it ?
