Ah... did some experimenting: 1. Renamed ~/.openoffice.org to ~/x-openoffice.org-x and reloaded. I then installed the PDF extension 3.2: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/node/1313 and that worked just fine. 2. I then renamed ~/.openoffice.org to ~/x2-openoffice.org-x and reloaded. I then installed the PDF extension 3.1: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/node/972 and that worked just fine. 3. I then "updated" #2 above from 3.1 to 3.2 using the update option in the extension manager... PDF now does not work. 4. I then reverted back to #1 and now it does work. So, there still appears to be a bug in 3.1 to 3.2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
