Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

Hi :)
Actually this Steve is just describing a 2 or 3 click answer.  It's technically easier than the 
importing into Draw method but sounds more complicated because of unfamiliarity.  The use of names 
of things makes it sound complicated too but when you get through that it's amazingly simple.  If 
he were with you showing you or in screenshot or a YouTube video you would see what he means more 
clearly
Regards from
Tom :)
