Hi :) You are not yet thinking in the LO way. The modules/apps (such as Writer, Calc, Draw) are not separate programs in the way you seem to be trying to use them. This is very different from MS Office. With MSO if you open 2 of the apps then you pretty much double the amount of space taken up in Ram and double the resources used.
Why not just create the page-breaks in Draw? Even if you do get the Pdf into Writer and save as an Odt rather than an Odg it still doesn't become any more editable than it is as an Odg. Pdf is made to be uneditable. That is part of it's aim. It's because it is uneditable that it appears the same on every machine or printer in any OS or program that displays Pdf, or at least that's the aim. You might find it helpful to skim quickly through the "Getting Started Guide" and see if soem things in there catch your eye https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Cliff Scott <c...@intergate.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Sunday, 21 July 2013, 3:54 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] Importing image from LO Draw (ODG) to Writer > > >I had a one page PDF file that I wanted to break into multiple pages.
