Dear Apache/OpenOffice, Since you did not have the courtesy to reply to my plea for help, and since the deadline is long gone (I manually retyped the whole article to meet it), I conclude that you are not interested in this problem and don't support the extension. May I suggest that to avoid frustration, you remove the defective software from your servers so others don't waste time trying it. I tried uninstalling it with the recommended removal tool, but it won't run either. I now have two pieces of useless software on my laptop that I don't know how to get rid of. I'm not pleased.

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?

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.
