Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

       This seems to be a much longer way of editing  ;-)

           my way - open in LO's Draw program then edit page by page or
within each page;
              and/or save from the Draw program to whichever extension you
so desire.

       Well, I've always followed the KISs method - especially when it
comes to this 'glorified typewriter'  ;-)
