OK, I'm installing the libreoffice package then.

** Description changed:

  When I try to embed a pdf file, as an embedded document in libreoffice
  writer, it tries to import the pdf file as a text file, instead of just
  displaying a pdf icon that I can click to open.
  
  To reproduce the bug, 
  1- start libreoffice writer 3
  2- select from the menu "Insert>Object>OLE Object..."
  3- select the "Create from file" radio button
  4- click the "Search..." button
  5- select any pdf or other non plaintext, non libreoffice compatible, or 
binary document
  6- click the "OK" button
  
  Expected behaviour : an icon representing your document should be
  inserted. Clicking on the icon should open the document using the
  appropriate program.
  
  Observed behaviour : an "ASCII Filter Options" dialog is displayed.
  Clicking OK in that dialog will insert a frame containing the text from
  the pdf file (as if you just cat the pdf file).

- bug has always existed, as I had the same problem before with
- openoffice.
