Re: [libreoffice-users] libre office won't print!
Hi :) Uninstall-reinstall doesn't get back to factory defaults. It just picks up all the same settingsconfigurations you had before. Probably it's just 1 Extension misbehaving but before starting to pin down which one it might be worth really getting back to factory defaults by renaming your User Profile. Renaming the User Profile is usually the easiest, quickest and best way of solving a weird problem that 'should not' happen https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile There are still programs that attempt to wipe out everything useful when they uninstall in order to make a fresh new install really set back to basics. However it seems that all programs leave traces of their install in the registry and other troublesome places. The uninstall-reinstall route to factory defaults is unworkable for programs that upgrade often.

That toolbar always appears in full screen mode and it's the ONLY toolbar that appears in fullscreen mode. In 3.6, I had it hidden, there are a number of Google search results that explain what to change in 3.6's registrymodifications.xcu file to make it disappear. v4 doesn't seem to have that file anymore, and changes to the 3.6 version in .libreoffice/3 don't make a difference in 4.

[libreoffice-users] PDF to ODF conversion
Hi I'm using Debian testing on Linux with LibreOffice version 3.5.4.2. According to the LibreOffice web site there is a extension that converts PDF to ODF. I can't seem to find it. There is some indication that the capability is built in to versions 3.5 and above but, if it is, I have not been able to fine it. Am I missing something or is there a Debian package problem or what?

Re: [libreoffice-users] PDF to ODF conversion
Gary, There is a PDF converter built-in to LO. This used to be an extension, but it is now bundled into LO. However, it imports a PDF file into a LO Draw session. Each page of the PDF file becomes a Draw page, much like a viewfoil page in Impress. Draw does allow additional elements to be added to the result, but editing the existing objects in the PDF is not always available. I guess it depends on how the PDF was created with the Adobe tools. There have been long threads of postings on this group regarding how to import a PDF into a Writer document. This is problematic, especially for PDFs with many pages. If you are in Writer and are trying to import a PDF directly, that cannot be accomplished at this time. Your best shot is to import your PDF into Draw, save it as a draw file and then import that Draw file into writer. Yes, it is labor intensive, but more than nothing. I have been somewhat successful at importing a PDF form which needs to be filled out, into Draw, and using the text tool, filling out the form, re-saving it as a PDF and returning it to the sender. I have even scanned my signature and inserted that picture object into the form at the blank signature location. I have not had any complaints from the senders. Hope this helps.
