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

Hi :)
Errr, when posting a new question to the lists here please start a new email and use copy&paste to 
put the address into the "To" field.  Taking an existing thread and doing "Reply to" and just 
changing the subject-line doesn't create a new thread.  I have forwarded teh mail to the list to 
break it out of the old thread and createa  new one so it's ok now.  Sorry about this not working 
intuitively!  :(

I have just been looking at the 
http://musescore.org/en/handbook/file-format
website.  It looks as though saving as png or svg might get the results you want more effectively.  
Not all systems can cope with svg (scalar vector graphics) yet but png seems to work everywhere and 
should be reasonably easy to print.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

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
