Robert: If you have a *.pdf then you can use man (1) pdftotext or pdftohtml. You can also open the *.pdf in GIMP, save it as a native *.xcf file, and then excise the image. The image then can be embedded in the *.odt document, along with the text, that was processed by pdftotext. -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
