'Version for Apache OpenOffice 4.0: see here.' Look slightly down and to the left, and you will see Don't click that if you have OOO v4.0.0.0 When you click on the extension on the apache open office site, you are redirected to the sourceforge site where you see the green download button. Of course we will continue to work on this extension to reflect user needs and any changes to the PDF standard.ĭefault download button at Sourceforge site is not for OOO v4.0.0

Encouraged by the huge number of positive comments and the improved quality of this extension, we decided to remove the Beta tag from this release. Please notice: Use this extension cautiously as editing PDF files is not a trivial task.

Import of complex vector graphics elements.

Backgrounds remain behind other elements.

Each line in a paragraph is converted into one text object.

Retain font appearance, when a PDF file uses a font not installed on your system, the font is replaced with the best alternative font.

Text attributes like font family, font size, weight (bold, not bold), style (italic, not italic) are imported together with their respective text.

Similarly, longer documents (> 20 pages) may cause some performance and stability problems. This is the perfect solution for changing dates, numbers or small portions of text with a minimum loss of formatting information for simple formatted documents.ĭocuments with more sophisticated layouts, such as those created with professional Desktop Publishing applications that use special fonts and complex vector graphics are not suitable for the PDF Import Extension. PDF documents are imported in Draw to preserve the layout and to allow basic editing. The PDF Import Extension also allows you to import and modify PDF documents for non hybrid PDF/ODF files. Users without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file with their PDF viewer.

Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be opened in as an ODF file without any layout changes. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file that contains an embedded ODF source file. Best results with 100% layout accuracy can be achieved with the 'PDF/ODF hybrid file' format, which this extension also enables. The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. If you are using Apache OpenOffice 4.0 or later, you must use another version: PDF Import for Apache OpenOffice.
