Hi Andrea,
in my case it doesn't work. I'm using Win 8 64 bit and when I installed
the extension I got this message:
"loading component libraray failed: (follows the address where the file
pdfimport.uno.dll was supposed to be found) "
...
AppData/Roaming/Openoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/sv62pr81.tmp_/oracle-pdfimport-1/pdfimport.uno.dll
sounds like an unusual link. And thus, I cannot import pdf files on AOO
4 at this time. I've been using RC1.

OpenOffice 4 (like all previous versions) does not include the PDF
Import extension. But, while in OpenOffice 3.4.x it was enough to
download it from the Extensions site, Ariel wrote that he expects that
a PDF Import Extension built for OpenOffice 3.x won't work except on
64-bit Linux, due to the stlport changes.
PDF Import is by far the most popular extension, so I'd like that we
are prepared if we receive questions. Due to a GPL dependency, it's
not shipped with OpenOffice, but questions will come here so...
I tried downloading the extension from
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/node/874/ and it works nicely, but
I'm in the exceptional case (I tested on 64-bit Linux, the only
platform where the old extension is expected to work). Do people who
use other operating systems have problems?
I also tried building PDF Import by configuring (release tag) with
./configure --enable-category-b ... --enable-pdfimport
--with-system-poppler
and this produces main/solver/400/.../bin/pdfimport/pdfimport.oxt
which works (probably on my system only).
Then I tried with only (i.e., no system poppler)
./configure --enable-category-b ... --enable-pdfimport
but this didn't produce anything.
Do we have some inconsistencies in the configure options? And what is
the right way to build pdfimport in a "portable" way? Honestly I
believe that, even if due to license constraints this cannot be
formally released by the project, it will be easier that someone
individually releases an updated version on the Extensions site rather
than explaining all of the above to random users...
Regards,
Andrea.
