It looks like he's trying to open the file directly in OpenOffice. pdfs are designed to be opened in a PDF reader, either Adobe's or an alternative reader (KPDF, for instnace). Normally, pdfs aren't supposed to be an "editable" format (though they do have forms inside sometime). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
