PDF documents are imported in Draw to preserve the layout and to allow basic editing. The PDF Import Extension also allows you to import and modify PDF documents for non hybrid PDF/ODF files. Users without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file with their PDF viewer. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be opened in as an ODF file without any layout changes. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file that contains an embedded ODF source file.

Best results with 100% layout accuracy can be achieved with the 'PDF/ODF hybrid file' format, which this extension also enables. The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. I highly recommend this.If you are using Apache OpenOffice 4.0 or later, you must use another version: PDF Import for Apache OpenOffice. Now they are abundant and reliable and pretty nice. Freewares by college professors and tech teams have always been a great thing. I highly reccomend coupling it with a pdf product called FOXIT. Open Office is the ONLY word product I use. you may be able to reinstall the system.but your documents are all lost.Even if you try storing them on another drive or partition.windows later may not recognize the access file in its system needed to find them and make them accessible all because they were referenced in your previous OS. Especially since MS office suite auto links all your office suite items to your operating system files and guess what if some virus or malware gets into your machine. Count them up: Vista bad, 7 great, 8 bad, 8.1 marginal but bad, 10 going fastly to the bad. Considering the nightmares that 4 out of the last 5 windows operating systems have been, thats scary. Trying to use MS Office Suite is only as good as the operating system you have and computer you have to run them off of.

That company has left all computer users subject to hackers, malwares, adwares, and system crashes for several decades. To the life of me I cant figure why so many people are so diehard about microsoft products.
