As I understand it, the capabilities of the PDF import extension are limited; it is intended to allow small cosmetic changes, much as one might make by pasting a small slip of paper over an existing document and photocopying. It does not have the ability to resolve the structure of the PDF document. If I have to modify a PDF I use a dedicated tool, such as Adobe Acrobat; I have needed to do this so rarely I have not looked for more recent public domain applications. > > On the web page at http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/pdfimport > , and on the web page at > http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/node/874/releases , > the only Linux version for a 64 bit computer, for which provision is > made, appears to be "Linux x86-64" . > > I am running Debian Linux 6.0.x on an AMD64 architecture. > > Is a version of the "Oracle PDF Import Extension" available for the > AMD64 architecture? -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: ooo-users-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: ooo-users-h...@incubator.apache.org
