Lynne,
If you use Linux then pdf2ps translates pdf to postscript and that can 
be manipulated. If you use Windows, I can't help.

My problem is that I am trying to copy data from PDFs into a

spreadsheet - but all the conversion software that I have found does not
seem to handle PDFLITE which is what doPDF and several other such
packages seem to produce.
  
Any solutions anybody?  How do I get data from a PDFLITE into a

spreadsheet?

What is you OS?
Windows, Linux, Mac? Which version.
What version of LO are you using? Your statement of using 3.3 since
3.4.5 is confusing. Are you using 3.5.5, 3.5.4, 3.5.3?
while someone tries to figure out the issue, if you use Windows,
please
download doPDF - free PDF printer software. Linux - CUPS-PDF.
With the PDF printer installed print the document to the PDF
printer,
like you would a paper printer.
Then see if creating a PDF that way works. If it does, then it is
the
PDF Exporting option. If not it may be in some generic printing
option
or some other issue.
I tend to use a PDF printer more than Exporting to PDF, since I
"print"
PDFs from many different packages and "forget" to use the Export
option. I have PDF printing as my default printer.

The OS is openSuSe 11.2
LibreOffice version is as stated i.e. LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1
(Build:1505)
A newer edition of LO has not appeared via my Yast software manager,
despite there being a few updates.

Hi,
I have an rainfall.ods document that has 24 tabs. Two of the tabs
contain figures and the balance contain graphs of the figures.
I recently experienced a problem, it would seem after my last tab
addition, that prevents me from creating a PDF file of the
selected
sheets(12).
The PDF export works fine on other files regarding `Export as
PDF',
why not on this file?
I was using LibreOffice 3.3 and have since updated to LibreOffice
3.4.5
OOO340m1 (Build:1505). Unfortunately the newer version is unable
to
`Export as PDF' on the selected TABS either!!
What could be wrong? There are no special characters in the sheet
names bar possibly a space.
I will gladly send this file to anyone who can assist as I need to
create and post to a public user mailing list a PDF at the end of
the
month.
Help is much appreciated
Hylton
