Re: PDF to odt problem

[ELAINE MURSZEWSKI]

Try a free program called FoxIt Reader.  If I remember correctly you can take a 
pdf and save it as a word document.  After it's in Word format, you can save it 
as odt.

There is perhaps a way to do this, but it's probably for Linux only. And even 
so, if you can do it, it probably won't be quite what you want (that is, 
pdf-to-odt format). 

It's possible to extract the text from a pdf. The Linux tool is called 
pdftotext, and there are probably applications like it for Windoze and the 
rotten Apple, but again, they only extract text. 

If I were faced with this problem, I would try copying the text from the pdf, 
if your pdf reader will allow it. (Again, I am running Linux, so this usually 
isn't a problem.) Then I would paste the text into a blank odt document, one 
paragraph at a time. Or -- if the document isn't too long -- I would print 
out the pdf, or open it in your pdf reader, then type it in by hand. 

I know this probably isn't the solution you want, but there really aren't many 
other solutions. A pdf document is essentially a photograph of a text 
document. The actual text in the document is now only a picture of each page. 

Good luck!

I'm not sure that there is an archieve for previous answers to questions but I

I'll look to see if I saved that post.

My prior beliefs make me assume otherwise, but there's no sense in
arguing here without data.

It would be possible to collect this data with a short survey on the
OpenOffice download page, if someone was so inclined.

It is a bubble, but I believe it is a much larger and more diverse

I see. I don't represent the LO community in any way. But I believe
that LibreOffice believes that the ball is in your court, with the
open letter at 
https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/.

But I'm also not sure there's any path forward here for a merge, at
least on the code side (my specialty).

Comparing the current Libreoffice code to 2011, where OpenOffice and
Libreoffice split,

134913 files changed, 12818118 insertions(+), 282429 deletions(-)

I understand. I'm glad things are getting better for the people who
are using OpenOffice.

To be clear, I'm not stuck on LO specifically. But office suites are
horrifically expensive and complicated to develop, and unfortunately
there's not many open source options on the market.

I typed a block of text into Mail on my iPad and sent the email to my iMac 
(late 2017 running Mojave 10.14.6). Opening Mail on the iMac, the email had 
been received successfully. 

After then opening AOO 4.1.11 on my I Mac and creating a new blank text 
document, I then copied the text from the received email in Mail and attempted 
to paste it into the blank AOO text document. The result was gibberish ; i.e. 
the text had disappeared with numerous lengthy blank spaces in lieu, 2 (yellow 
highlighted) squiggly red lines (which AOO generates to indicate 
unfamiliar/incorrect spelling in its normal operation in Text documents etc.), 
more blank space and finally the cursor indicating the end of the pasted text.  
Cursor position is green highlighted before and after paste operation.

In the attached file, to better illustrate the problem, I

A) opened AOO and created a new, blank text document (note position of cursor 
in top left corner),

B) copied a text passage from within the received email and

C) attempted to paste copied text into blank AOO document.

I will be most grateful for any advise users may offer.

To whom it may concern,

When I used to shut down Open Office, it would keep the last docs I had 
used and were open when closing the app. When starting Open Office, It 
would ask about restoring the docs that were open when last closed. I 
could click OK and each of those docs would open up.

However, for some reason, Open Office now doesn't remember the last ones 
that were open and when I start Open Office, I have to reopen each doc 
from the "Open" box in the menu bar.

How can I get Open Office to reopen all the last docs I'd used and had 
open when closing the app?

Also, when I start Open Office, where it shows the docs I had open last, 
it shows an old doc there that will never open since it was since 
removed from my root directory (it shows a red "X"). How can I get rid 
of this old doc that Open Office is remembering?

If this religious injection does not stop, I find it sufficiently offensive
to totally walk away from this discussion group.

Please purge that Muslim evangelist out of this group for his offensive
post.

Re: end of Apache?

Thank you Dennis!  I don't use open office as many other "super users" might

Yes, I think it would be a serious loss.  Not just for up to 50 million users, 
but also for the stability of the OpenDocument Format and for users who would 
be better served in the future.

At the same time, the practical limitations are what they are and it depends 
more on those who can develop the software and not so much on those who benefit 
freely from using it.

It seems to me that I recently heard that there will be no Windows 11. I 
guess they are just going to keep upgrading Windows 10 every time you 
try to shut down!

Re: converting x.lwp files

[Elaine]

Hello Tom, 


I found this article in the OO forum, yes, it's from 2011 but might be helpful.


https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7=39369


Simon is correct, with LibreOffice you can open .lwp files.  I also found 
information where you can convert .lwp to PDF files.  I use FoxItReader for 
pdf, it's free and so much better than (ugh) Adobe.


I hope this helps.  Also I found information by doing a search for "how to 
convert a .lwp in Win8".

Sorry but I haven't had any experience with .lwp files.  I did a search and 
those were just a few hits that I received.  You may wish to do a search for 
"how to convert a .lwp in Win8".   I found many different links for this issue.


Sorry I can't assist any further but will read all of thread to learn.


One thing I can say (this is what I would do), install FoxItReader, then click 
on your .lwp file and open it with FoxItReader - see if that works.

I always use the task manager to shut Open Office down.  This way, after I

un/re install will possibly (probably) not work.  If you are using
Windows, start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any "soffice" processes
shown as running on TM's Processes tab.  Such processes can be left over if you
close (powerdown) your computer too quickly after using OO, or if you have had a
program or computer crash.

The only reason you have to use the Task
Manager is if you have set to 
"Load OpenOffice during system start-up"
in
your Tools --> Options --> OpenOffice --> Memory settings. By the way 
this
setting has been removed in 4.1.2

Re: Open Office 4

[Elaine]

Dennis,


I've tried that but not all will be in the list.  It's just easier for me to do 
this through task manager.  I'm still using 4.1.1.

Elaine,

That is the first time I have heard of Task Manager shutdown of
OpenOffice as a features.

If it could work for you, the recently-opened
documents list might be a much better way to have a safe restart of a
previously-worked-on document.

Re: Basic IDE crashes after deleting line(s)

[Elaine]

not sure this is going to be helpful but when backspacing did you have an extra 
space in your macro that didn't get deleted?

Just installed OO 4.1.2.  I opened a blank Calc document and went to Tools
->
Macros -> Organize Macros -> OpenOffice Basic.  From the OpenOffice
Basic
Macros dialog I selected "Edit" on the "Main" macro in Module1.  I
can add new
lines to the macro, but the IDE crashes if I try to delete a
line (pressing
"backspace" from column 1 of a line).

I'm running Windows 7.  This problem
also occured on OO 4.1.1.  I tried
deleting my user profile but the problem
persists.

Thanks!

Greetings and Good Will to all.
 
I know you are busy with
involvement in the Apache/Open Office project. I am a 'tech flunky' learning to
use word processing and pc technology, in general. I am a researcher/writer and
I am looking for information as to how I may scan documents into editable files
that I can merge into my text documents. If it is not too much trouble, can
someone point me in the correct direction please. I am using a very basic
all-in-one scanner (canon MG 2500 Series) and a very basic laptop running
Windows 8.1, 64 bit, 2013 edition. Any information is very much appreciated.
Thank you for any time and info. you may be able to provide.
 
Sincerely,


Craig craft.
