Hi.
I just tried an interesting thing.
Uploaded a PDF with images to google drive. Right clicked the PDF and open with google docs. Then the PDF was converted to a google doc and I could download the PDF as an odt and edit it.

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 :)

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the reply.  I'm using Linux (Slackware).  Unfortunately,
exporting to text is not an option here as the PDF's contain various
drawings that can't be omitted.

David

I'm currently working on a large project that requires me to import many
documents from my colleagues, some in word or PDF formats, into a single
file.  Libreoffice doesn't work if I try Insert->File... on a PDF file
(I get an error popup saying Error rereading the file).

I can open the PDF file (in draw) and cut and paste each PDF page into
the document, but that is painful.

Is there a way to make File->Insert work, perhaps via a macro?  If not,
consider this a feature request.

David


What OS are you using?

In some pdf readers you can export the entire file as a plain text file
and this file can be opened in Writer or imported into Calc. I do not
know if this would less or more painful. You would have the entire file
at once but would need to format the text.
