Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import printed form into writer in Linux?

Hi :)
I think Draw rather than Writer.  Also it might be worth using Synaptic Package Manager or 
something to search for "OCR" just to see what libraries and stuff ("Stuff" also seems to be a 
favourite word in official interviews about the space-station) you can add to your system to give 
all relevant programs the increased functionality.

Something i really love about Unix-based platforms is that if you add a certain type of 
functionality to 1 program then instantly all other relevant programs  automatically find they now 
have that functionality too :)  Occasionally you might have to close the unexpected program and 
reopen it to get the extra but usually you don't even have to do that.  No reboots, just keep using 
:))

Tom :)

Hi All,
I have several printed forms that I would like to import into LOWriter.  The forms
have fonts of various sizes and families on the same form with areas for entering
information (names, addresses, part numbers, etc.).

I have a Brother MFC printer that can scan the forms into a variety of formats.  I
don't currently have any OCR capability.  Looking in writer I couldn't find anywhere
to import a scanned image.

Are there any add-ons that would allow it to work with PDF files?  Is there
documentation related to this functionality?

LibreOffice 3.5.2.2
openSuSE 12.2 x86-64
Kernel: 3.3.0-2-default
KDE 4.8.1

Thanks, Tom
