No application - not even Acrobat, the proprietary PDF editor made by Adobe, the company that wrote the PDF specifications - is able to edit more than a single line while preserving format. Actually, though, using Draw is logical, given the limitations of the PDF format. This default might seem strange at first, especially if your PDF file is text. The next time you start 3.0, you’ll be able to open PDF files from any of the options for opening an existing document in the File menu.īy default, SPI opens PDF files in the Draw application, although you could also use Impress, which shares much of the same code. Then, from within the build, you can install SPI from Tools -> Extension Manager. To investigate SPI, you need to download and install a snapshot build of 3.0. Right now, the quality of the final release is anybody’s guess, but the beta’s capabilities fall squarely in the middle of the available PDF import tools. Recently posted to the Extensions site, the Sun PDF Import extension (SPI) is only in beta, and only works with recent developer builds of 3.0, which is scheduled for September release. Easy PDF editing is coming to, but you’ll have to be patient for a few months.
