It does import the PDF into Draw; unfortunately it only imports the text of the PDF and doesn not import the graphics. Example: I just recently modified a CD label for Ubuntu: <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ubuntu_CD_804.pdf> I used pdfedit to change the label to read "Alternate CD - Final" - worked great. I just tried the pdfimport extension & while it did indeed import the text fine, it did not import the CD label graphic in the PDF. Thankfully OOo provides svg label files, so it's easy to edit in inkscape: http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/galleries/cdart/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
