PDF documents are imported in Draw and Impress to preserve the layout and to allow basic editing. It is the perfect solution for changing dates, numbers or small portions of text.&#8221;</p> -<p>Not all features are complete yet, but this is a major step forward in providing very useful capabilities to OOo users.</p> -<p>Erwin also highlights the cool Hybrid PDF capability it provides, and which I&#8217;ve written about recently:</p> -<p>&#8220;Once the extension is installed, the PDF export feature shows a new option at the bottom as well. With the Sun PDF Import Extension, OpenOffice.org allows creating so-called &#8220;hybrid files&#8221;. These are PDF files that also include the ODF content, i.e. the original source document. As a consequence, everybody can view these hybrid files with a simple PDF viewer. However, OpenOffice.org users can also edit these PDF files without any information loss, since OpenOffice.org will simple recognize and open the ODF content instead of trying to import the PDF information.&#8221;</p></description> - <pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:14:54 +0000</pubDate> -</item> </channel> </rss> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
