My first thought is that in the past you were scanning your documents with 
optical character recognition (OCR) turned on, and that now it's turned off for 
some reason.

With OCR turned on, the PDF file contains the actual text and also an image of 
the page. With OCR turned off, the PDF file contains only the image.

Subject: Can't edit my PDF files

Hi,
   My name is David Di Giacomo and I have been an Apache Open Office user 
for many years and have never encountered any problems with it. I think it is a 
great program. However in the last 2-3 weeks I have encountered a problem, it 
will not allow me to edit imported PDF documents.
I will explain what process I have always used in order to implement Open 
Office,
1.) I scan a required document on my HP printer and send it to my computer as a 
PDF file.
2.)I then open the scanned document, highlight it and then press control/C to 
copy this document.
3.) I then open Open Office and click on Text Documents, when the Open Office 
blank pages appears I then press control/V to paste this document. I have 
always used this method and never have had any issues.
This is where my problem begins, when the importation to Open Office has been 
completed,  the document does appear but is imported with small squares on each 
corner and middle outer edges. I then click my cursor outside the document and 
the squares disappear but as soon as I go back into the body of the document a 
cross hair symbol appears which allows me to relocate the document but will not 
allow me to edit any of the text.
Telstra has downloaded all extensions but unfortunately it still did not work.
I really would appreciate if you can assist me with this problem for as I said 
before I really like using this program.
If you can't fix this problem could you please suggest an alternative program.
   Best Regards
 David Di Giacomo
