Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

When I open the PDF file and try to export it, all I see are graphics
formats (e.g., .bpm, .jpeg, .wfm etc.).  I've tried several and they are
importable into my document (as a picture), but it seems that only one
page was exported, which is more complicated than copying and pasting
from each page of the draw object.

In the mean time, I've discovered a free conversion site,
www.zamzar.com, and they were able to convert the PDF files to odt (with
the images as bitmaps.  Now here's another strange thing:  I can use LO
to open the converted file and the document looks as I expect; however,
when I insert the file (insert->file) into my larger document, only the
text is picked up, leaving blank spaces where the images should go.

This sounds like a bug, but perhaps there is some setting that controls
this.  One other thing: when I open the single/converted pdf->odt
document, the navigator shows draw objects and graphics objects as 0.
