Todd Goatley suggested:

Try Adobe Reader. You can save the doc in text, then open it in OO.

Thank you for your response, but:

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a Windows Program

There is a Linux version of Adobe Reader, I've used it for years. For Adobe Acrobat however, there is no Linux version as far as I know, but that was not what was suggested.


Best regards

, and

Saving to a text file (equivalent to extracting the text) means that
I lose both the graphics and the rest of the page formatting, which

Is not really what I was hoping for.  I was hoping for a faithful
reproduction of the pdf file in an editable format.

In Windows (a now obsolete OS) Solid Converter PDF does a good job
of doing that, but I have not been able to run under Wine (I'm using
TheBat! version 3.99 - an email client for win - to write this with
- WineHQ informer me that version 4 won't run, but v. 3.x will).

Other commercial pdf editors/creators include Foxit but I was hoping
an opensource app was available (Ghostscript will extract to text
but as I mentioned, that's not what I have in mind).

In any case, than you for your response.

OO's ability to create pdf files is a valuable asset.

However, the need frequently arises to convert pdf files to a
editable format.
