That's not possible because both extensions have different identifiers,

good to:
- add the extension ID to the black-list in
/org.openoffice.Office.ExtensionDependencies/Extensions
- Provide an update of the Oracle PDF Extension with the only
modification of the now missing <OpenOffice.org-maximal-version>
Well, both approaches can coexist, with proper timing.
1) In a first phase, take care of the 3.x users; publish a minor update
that simply introduces the maximal version and at the same time make
sure to blacklist PDF Import in the 3.x->4.x profile migration starting
with OpenOffice 4.1. This is probably easy since (access privileges
aside) it is probably just unzipping, updating the description.xml file
and repackaging with no need to rebuild.
2) Then, after (say) one month, that would be helpful to 3.x users to
get the newer version, the 4.x version can be added to that page (this
would be your version, but rebuilt with a version number that is higher
than the version in step 1, and with the same identifiers used by PDF
Import).
Indeed it will never happen that a user can update PDF Import to the
4.x-compatible version without updating OpenOffice, so preserving the
Extension ID is not that important and can also be avoided. But offering
all 3.x and 4.x versions on the same page would be helpful to users.
