Ariel Constenla-Haile <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <[email protected]> --- This can be NOTABUG or WONTFIX, or both. a) all OpenOffice.org versions open a PDF file with the ASCII filter in Writer (this is the default for every unknown file format). b) the capability to open a PDF file containing the original OpenDocument Format document embedded inside the PDF (known as Hybrid PDF) is a feature added by an extension, not a core OpenOffice feature: you need to install an extension c) the PDF Import extension is no longer developed nor built at Apache OpenOffice due to license conflict of the main external component. This is true since AOO 3.4.0. d) In 3.4.* importing hybrid PDFs worked by installing this *external* extension: http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/oracle-pdf-import-extension This is a third party extension. Is not under the control of this project. e) Due to the removal of the STLport library, C++ extension built with previous AOO SDKs cannot be installed in 32 bit systems (all Windows and MacOS where AOO is a 32 bit application, Linux 32 bit; but the extension still work in Linux 64 bit). Due to this, the Oracle PDF Import extension does no longer work in Windows, MacOS and Linux 32 bit. In conclusion: * this isn't a regression: - the feature depends on a third party extension - the extension is no longer developed nor built at AOO since 3.4.0 - the STLport library removal is a new FEATURE, so the problem that 3.4.* C++ extensions don't work in AOO 4.0.0 is not a regression but the consequence of a feature * this isn't a release blocker: there is nothing this project can do in the short time to build and distribute the PDF Import extension for 4.0.0. The main external dependency has an incompatible license. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
