I need to extract a table from a pdf file to an oo spreadsheet. Is this possible and if so, how Sean -- Thawte, GSWoT and CaCert WOT Assurer I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. - Neil Armstrong

Dunno, but a possibility is converting first to html, then importing in OO. Another would be using one of those editors that can open a pdf, like kword, I think. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes. I just did this friday for a customer from Acrobat to Excel. I simply selected the text, which in KPDF will open a send to clipboard or file sub-menu, then opened a OOCalc file and pasted it. You will have some formatting issues, but the data will be there. -- kai -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not a problem. With Acrobat 7.0 you can do a CTRL-A to select the whole document after clicking the selection tool. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
