Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

Hi :)
Ouch!  Single images are ok as you can right-click and save them or even just drag them out of the 
Pdf sometimes but if it's tons of logos or overlapping images then it can be a total Pita.  My 
cheating way was to use Gimp to import (luckily only a page or 2 at a time and only a couple in the 
entire thing), crop and resize, sometimes change RGB into "indexed" and then alpha channel the 
white-space and plonked on the page.  After a few of those people stopped sending me stuff as Pdfs! 
:))
Regards from
Tom :)
