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

Hi :)
I have a feeling that it's worth posting a bug-report or 2 about this issue.  I would post one 
here.  This guide might help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
but i think the problem might be with the way the pdfs are generated in MuseScore so i would post a 
bug-report with them too.
http://musescore.org/node/77

Both guides suggest posting a question in the relevant forum first.  If you could give us a link to 
the question you asked in their forum that might help.  Also they might find it useful to have a 
link to this thread in the question there.  I would copy  the Nabble link to them
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fw-Re-libreoffice-users-PDF-Import-LibreOffice-extension-for-importing-PDF-documents-pdfimport-td3503557.html

Likewise when you post a bug-report there and here it's good to give links so that people working 
in one project can easily have a look at what their counter-parts are doing in the other project.  


Hmm, just a thought but once you have an svg or png you could open a new Draw document and drop the 
picture into it and then export that as Pdf.  When i do that i find the picture is not the same 
size as the A4 page so i use the "handles" at the corners of the picture to stretch it to fill (or 
almost fill) the page.  My printer always gives a 5mm blank area around the edges of pages so i 
don't always make the picture fully fit the page unless i want the edges trimmed off.  

Don't worry about the ettiquette issue.  All forums and mailing lists have their own quirks and we 
often only  find what they are by trial-and-error.  You are not the first and unlikely to be the 
last person that falls into that one.  Actually i think that particular quirk is shared by quite a 
lot of forums and mailing-lists so it's a good one to learn about early on.  Still a lot of people 
forget.  It wasn't a lot of extra work for me to fix.  I think 3 clicks and a drag instead of 1 
[shrugs].  I've known worse! ;)

Sorry such a long post!
Regards from
Tom :)

MAS and Tom,

Thank you for the prompt replies. Tom, My apologies for inappropriately 
creating a new thread by using "Reply" method which caused the
inconvenience as well as extra toil. And addition thanks for the effort 
and educating me.

The SVG and PNG are fine for me, but the PDF is a part of the 
requirements (which are out of my control) I am working on at present.

Best regards,


Pae
