Re: [libreoffice-users] [PDF Import] LibreOffice extension for importing PDF documents -- pdfimport

Hi :)
Is this something to do with missing or unavailable fonts?  Could it be that musescore uses a font 
that is not available to the rest of the system?  

Is it possible to generate a pdf from musescore by asking it to print-to-file and then get it to 
use pdf instead of ps?  I think that is a way of getting the fonts to be embedded in the pdf itself.
Regards from
Tom :)

I brought up the question a few days again. I was told this is
extension was designed by a third party.  The current version was
designed for oO and not libreoffice
