Hi. I have a Mac OS X version 10.7.4 and I just successfully downloaded
OpenOffice thru my web browser Safari. (I need to edit a PDF file, that is why
I downloaded OpenOffice)).
My problem: I can't get it to work. When I attempt to open my PDF file in
OpenOffice the text shows up as gobbledygook! Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I am not a "techie" so I need patient hand holding. I am following a specific
How To edit a PDF file (found off internet) with OpenOffice and here are the
steps and my status:
1. "After installing OpenOffice run the PDF Import Extension" not
sure I did that right.
2. "Next, open OpenOffice Draw" I could do that OK
3. "Once open, browse to the PDF file you want to edit and open the
file" I did this but the document was gobbledygook.
I basically need to delete sections of my current PDF file, so it should be
simple huh? Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks, Nancy
