I'm sure glad I read this thread. I thought the PDF extension had been
abandoned by Oracle. I just downloaded it, installed it and opened a
PDF file in Draw with no problems. The only thing I did that was
different from the steps enumerated by the OP was after opening Draw and
selecting Open I changed the File Type to PDF. But I don't really think
that should make any difference.
Maybe Apache decided to revive it.

For dealing with PDFs I use thee Foxit reader which has a facility to show the
underlying plain text,
which you can then highlight and copy.
Best wishes

Hi. I have a Mac OS X version 10.7.4 and I just successfully
downloaded OpenOffice thru my web browser Safari. (I need to edit a
PDF file, that is why I downloaded OpenOffice)).
My problem: I can't get it to work. When I attempt to open my PDF
file in OpenOffice the text shows up as gobbledygook! Not sure what I
am doing wrong. I am not a "techie" so I need patient hand holding.
I am following a specific How To edit a PDF file (found off internet)
with OpenOffice and here are the steps and my status:
1. "After installing OpenOffice run the PDF Import Extension" not
sure I did that right.
2. "Next, open OpenOffice Draw" I could do that OK
3. "Once open, browse to the PDF file you want to edit and open the
file" I did this but the document was gobbledygook.
I basically need to delete sections of my current PDF file, so it
should be simple huh? Any advice you can give me would be
appreciated. Thanks, Nancy in Seattle
