Hi rosmord,

OpenOffice does not really contain an interpreter for PDF, there exists an
extension that uses some external tooling to import huge parts of the PDF, but
this is far off from being identical to the original PDF. Thus, the quality of
the PDF content - when it would be possible to include that interpreter - would
be off (much?) less quality than printing a PDF using the normal tools. There
is a reason that the owner of that format wants you to use these tools.

For sure - what you intend - that the included color separation stuff will be
still alive after AOOs PDF import - will not be the case.

If PDF would be able to extract a "print metafile' of some kind still cotaining
that stuff, it *might* be possible to map it to the desired place in the office
document and feed it scaled and translated to a printer output of some kind.
This would solve the printer case, but not any other export/visualization
yet...
