------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 29 16:08:46 +0000 2007 ------- Hello, I'm no programmer so pardon me. I think that the issue with PDF's in OpenOffice has been made complicated by the technical aspects... I think what end-users only want is to be able to read/view PDF's with a program associated with OpenOffice - I guess that would suffice. >From the previous comments, it seems to me that integrating a program to view/edit PDF's is not congruent with how OO was written, coming from a programmers perspective. I guess that means there is a problem with having an interoperability between the proposed PDF viewer/editor and Writer, for example, in a way similar to the interoperability of Writer and Impress. I mentioned above that association is the only need... to put it simply, imagine renaming Adobe Acrobat Reader into something like OpenOffice Portable and include it in the download and installation of OpenOffice, to be used as an application within the suite to view/annotate/highlight/whatever (as opposed to "editing") PDF's, but not necessarily written to interoperate with like Writer, Impress, and Draw do. If I understood it correctly, what is feasible is being able to import/convert PDF's into Writer "editable" format (odt, doc, etc..). That's when the interoperability would come in - when a user wants to edit/modify (different from simply making highlights, comments, etc...) the PDF document. But as far as "Adobe Acrobat Reader functionality" is concerned, I do not see how it would be impossible for developers to create an application that is associated with OpenOffice that would allow users to view/annotate PDF's like how they do with Adobe, Foxit, etc... Am I coming across? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
