Hi Andrea, all

 Let me understand: are you installing on OpenOffice 4.x this extension

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.

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?

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 ;)

Pedro
