When the extension is installed, PDF is listed as a choice in the File
Type drop-down list in the File > Open dialog.
Best results can be achieved with the PDF/ODF hybrid file format,
which this extension also enables. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file
that contains an embedded ODF source file. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will
be opened in OpenOffice.org as an ODF file without any layout
changes.
Non-hybrid PDF documents open in Draw. Depending on the
complexity of the layout, changes may be easy or difficult to make, and
the saved result may or may not preserve the original layout. Font
substitution may occur.
Documents with more sophisticated layouts, such as those created with
professional desktop publishing applications that use special fonts and
complex vector graphics, are not suitable for the PDF Import
Extension. Similarly, longer documents (> 20 pages) may cause some
performance and stability problems.

Presenter Console
Provides extra control over slide shows (presentations); for example,
the presenter has ability to see the upcoming slide, the slide notes, and
a presentation timer—while the audience sees only the current slide.
The Presenter Console displays the elements in three easily
changeable views:
• The first view displays the current slide, including the effects, and
the upcoming slide.
• The second view shows the speaker's notes in large, clear, and
scalable type, plus the current and upcoming slide.
• The third view is a slide sorter view with the slide thumbnails.

Note
The Presenter Console works only on an operating system that
supports multiple displays.
Report Builder
Creates stylish, complex database reports from Base. You can define
group and page headers, group and page footers, and calculation
fields. Export your reports into PDF or OpenDocument formats, or
