The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. Best 
results with 100% layout accuracy can be achieved with the "PDF/ODF hybrid 
file" format, which this extension also enables. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF 
file that contains an embedded ODF source file. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be 
opened in OpenOffice.org as an ODF file without any layout changes. Users 
without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file with their PDF 
viewer.

The PDF Import Extension also allows you to import and modify PDF documents for 
non hybrid PDF/ODF files. PDF documents are imported in Draw to preserve the 
layout and to allow basic editing. This is the perfect solution for changing 
dates, numbers or small portions of text with a minimum loss of formatting 
information for simple formatted documents.

Documents with more sophisticated layouts, such as those created with 
professional Desktop Publishing applications that use special fonts and complex 
vector graphics are not suitable for the PDF Import Extension. Similarly, 
longer documents (> 20 pages) may cause some performance and stability problems.

Features:

Text attributes like font family, font size, weight (bold, not bold), style 
(italic, not italic) are imported together with their respective text
Retain font appearance, when a PDF file uses a font not installed on your 
system, the font is replaced with the best alternative font
Converts images and vector graphics
Each line in a paragraph is converted into one text object
Import of password-protected PDF files
Import shapes with default style
Support for colors and bitmaps
Backgrounds remain behind other elements
Not supported:

Native PDF forms
Proper paragraphs
Processing layout of LaTeX PDF
Import of complex vector graphics elements
Conversion of tables
Import of EPS graphics
RTL (right-to-left) text/font support
Please notice: Use this extension cautiously as editing PDF files is not a 
trivial task. Encouraged by the huge number of positive comments and the 
improved quality of this extension, we decided to remove the Beta tag from this 
release. Of course we will continue to work on this extension to reflect user 
needs and any changes to the PDF standard. To further improve this extension, 
please continue sending us feedback at d...@graphics.openoffice.org.
