My bad for not noticing the link to the new version. ... it should be given more highlight.
We can ask the administrators to improve it, but honestly I wouldn't know how to make it even more visible than it is now.
It works perfectly! Sorry about the noise.
OK, good.
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?
Without the extension OpenOffice cannot create or open hybrid PDFs. With the extension it can do both.
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.
This is a crash to report then. The fact that what you are opening is a hybrid PDF is irrelevant: you are simply opening something that makes OpenOffice (dev version only, but please check and mention this) crash, and this is a priority bug.
But what I really hope is that the extension will be included in the next release, which would solve the bug and improve AOO ;)
There are restrictions to what we can do with that extension due to problematic licensing of some libraries it uses. So the reason for not including it in OpenOffice is legal (or better: checks to make on the legal side) rather than technical. OpenOffice is extremely careful about licensing.
