That's definitely worth a try. But if I open a pdf file as such from oo write it will open it in oo draw which does not offer that format when I try to save it. > <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pdf_Import_Extension/Announcement> > > http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&complete=0&q=openoffice+%2Bpdf+%2Bhybrid&btnG=Search> > > For existing: > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Unix_.2F_Linux> > > PDF Edit is good, but rather complex and can take some time to master (I > never have). > http://pdfedit.petricek.net/en/index.html > http://pdfedit.petricek.net/en/user_doc.html > > If you plan to edit quite a few, particularly in a commercial > environment, I'd recommend PDF Studio: > http://www.qoppa.com/index.html > Give the free trial a spin: > http://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/index.html More than EDIT pdf files, my goal is to EXTRACT or EMPHASIZE info contained in them. Converting to a .txt file would allow that but of course, I'd lose the preexisting formatting and graphics. I will follow up on your suggestions and links, which should help me arrive sooner at a more or less workable solution. One more thing: My own posts are not returning (so I'm bbc-ing myself) and I'm wondering if this can be changed via my account's configuration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
