--- Comment #3 from rosmord <[email protected]> --- You are right, I would like PDF format to be usable just like EMF. In all cases, you need a PDF interpreter to render the pdf. I think it's also the case for all vector formats. An 'easy readable' part is not systematically available in the any format (when it is, its purpose was to speed up screen rendering on machines from the '90s). Using it to print would defeat the whole idea of using a vector format in the first place. OpenOffice includes an interpreter for those formats (perhaps not EPS), as can be shown if you look at PDF output and enlarge them. Now, PDF interpretation is certainly already available in the current PDF import function of openoffice (one might use the java library PDFbox too). The main difference is that a) the pdf would produce a vector picture, not a textual document b) the said picture would keep the initial pdf as a source (I suppose it's done that way for EMF/WMF, whose original format is respected by OpenOffice).
