Dear Apache,
My son (he runs support for Mode7games) told me off for not giving you 
enough detail, sorry.
This laptop runs Vista (is that the problem?). Windows update is on. I use 
OpenOffice and have updated to Apache OpenOffice 4. I found the extension by 
clicking the extension jigsaw piece on the OpenOffice front page. I chose 
the OpenOffice 4 version of the extension (Oracle PDF Import Extension) and 
it does not offer any versions for different Windows so the choice is pretty 
straightforward. So downloading it is OK, and unpacking it. I just need help 
installing it/getting it to run. Where can I find user information for that 
please?
Oh and I filed it in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 4\Extensions\OCR 
(Extensions and OCR are new folders I made specially for this).
Is it even the right software for what I want to do? I want to edit a 
document my wife made initially in Word, then she hand drew some diagrams 
onto a printout and scanned it into a pdf. I want to do a bit more editing 
to prepare it for the editor, so initially I thought I could rescan it into 
our own scanner, an HP3050 J611a, but I could not find how to access OCR 
with it, it might not be offered, which is a bit strange, so I then thought 
to see if OpenOffice could help, can you?
Thanks
Stephen D Cox

How can I get the PDF OCR extension to run? I downloaded it, unzipped it and
looked for how to install it. NO INSTRUCTIONS FOUND. Tried the only exe file
I could see, xpdfimport.exe , but NOTHING HAPPENED. Tried restarting this
laptop and tried again, but still nothing. Looked for text file user guide
but none found.
Why don't you make it possible for an ordinary guy to use this?
I'm trying to edit a document my wife has written for our local paper and
want to get it in to the editor before deadline. Please help.
