Thanks for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately OpenOffice has not (yet) the functionality that is here requested. OpenOffice can currently export to pdf but not import pdf format.
However, there are already efforts to implement this functionality as can be seen http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pdf_Import_Extension and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/ToDo/PDF_Import . There is also an extension available http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport , however, it only works with OpenOffice 3.0 Beta, which is not part of Ubuntu yet. Thanks again, and do not hesitate to continue to report issues. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) => Ralph Janke (txwikinger) Status: New => Invalid -- OOo writer unable to open PDF file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
