Hi Andrea, all
Let me understand: are you installing on OpenOffice 4.x this extension > > which is named "Oracle PDF Import Extension (for OpenOffice 3.x)" instead > of this one > (linked from the page above as the version to use for OpenOffice 4.x): > Yes, I did. My bad for not noticing the link to the new version. Unfortunately searching for "PDF import" always returns the Oracle extension first (although the new one also shows up) I assumed (wrongly) that there wasn't a newer version. I think it should be given more highlight. > > I think that the loss of hybrid PDF editing is a real regression for AOO >> > > Please check with the right version and report the regressions you find. > It's still good to know. > It works perfectly! Sorry about the noise. I still think that it doesn't make sense that this is an optional download. If creating a Hybrid PDF is a feature included in AOO what is the sense that trying to reopen the file you just created will show you an Import ASCII dialog? > > Furthermore, opening a PDF in AOO 4.0 or 4.1 tries to convert the document >> from ASCII (which makes sense) but immediately crashes AOO 4.2 >> > > Anything that crashes OpenOffice (even if you open a totally random > sequence of bytes named "test.odt") is an OpenOffice bug. So if you have a > file (of whatever type) that crashes OpenOffice 4.2-dev (especially if no > extensions are installed), please open an issue, attach the file there and > send the link here. > I have an Hybrid PDF that crashes AOO 4.2 every time when the file is opened/dropped However this does not happen if the PDF import extension is installed. I can report the bug at Issuezilla But what I really hope is that the extension will be included in the next release, which would solve the bug and improve AOO ;) Regards, Pedro
