With the correct extension installed, OpenOffice 4.1.4 (and earlier versions) 
will permit minor cosmetic editing of PDF files; however, for serious editing, 
amounting to reconstruction of such files, as you outline, it is not a good 
tool.  You should either acquire Adobe Acrobat or some other PDF editor.  
Perhaps Google will be your friend.

I don't think OO is appropriate for that purpose. My personal 
preference for what you describe is PDFsam (http://pdfsam.org/).

It's free and open-source.

Hello,

Difficult to get to you. I need a question answered. I have a older disc 
for OO.O vs.3.1 ?. I see there is a newer offering. My question is this (as I 
never really learned or needed to learn) all the apps of the old one. I have 
many, many PDF docs that have way too many pages in them. Adobe says I need to 
buy their Acrobat Professional XI or subscribe to their DC version for a 
monthly rate to be able to edit-(extract & delete)  unnecessary pages and blank 
pages that come with the user manuals that you get online. Is this possible to 
do with OO 4.1.4 ? I think that is what the latest version is? Or do I have to

Start by renaming your OpenOffice user profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes 
called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

This cures most spellcheck problems.

The spell check does not work properly, it checks every word as if it were 
wrong and added to that, it says it has no suggestions. Thanks, alan

In theory, you can export the Quickbooks data as CSV files, and then
import them into AOo.

I can't find it, but there used to be a Calc extension that could read
either Quicken, or Quickbooks files.

Finally, there is a commercially distributed QODB driver, that appears
to play nicely with AOo. This driver should enable you to use the
QuickBooks database from within Calc.
