Good catch! Now the sample PDF opens and is readable! 

Now it's failing at this line... how *do* you specify a search/replace all 
text on an instance of draw? (squinting at documentation now) 

            // You need a descriptor to set properies for Replace
            xReplaceDescr = xReplaceable.createReplaceDescriptor();

Apparently due to this returning null: 

            xReplaceable = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
                com.sun.star.util.XReplaceable.class, xTextDocument);

Where xTextDocument is actually an instance of draw rather than writer. 

(so close!)
