Description Rainer Bielefeld 2013-07-30 18:07:12 UTC

When I import OCR Scan PDF with contents combining page filling picture + Texts (Electric Wiring Schemes, ...) to DRAW very often some Text boxes appear in the foreground of the page filling picture instead behind it.

I see this using with  "AOO 4.0.0-Dev – German UI / German locale  [AOO400m3(Build:9702)  -  Rev. 1503709 (2013-07-17) ]" on German German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", Common 4.0-dev User Profile + 
"PDF Import for Apache OpenOffice" Extension.
<http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/aoo-pdf-import/>

That's not a new problem, I have been used to see that problem for years also with LibreOffice, so I think the problem already is in the Oracle PDF import extension.

I can contribute sample PDF documents what may be used for debugging, but they are too confidential to be published here.

PDF is not a format intended to be edited. So the reverse engineering of that format is very difficult.

I don't think a correct import filter will be ever made (except the one from Adobe of course).

Please provide instructions for install of aoo-pdf-import on Win 7.
Apologies, but I'm not familiar with git.
Trying to confirm...

0. Install Extension "PDF Import for Apache OpenOffice"
   <http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/pdf-import-apache-openoffice>
   if not already installed for your OOo
1. From AOO Start Center, open attached sample document (PDF)
   Expected: all OCR text behind the full page picture
   Actual: at the most bottom most right visible text line "E-Mail:" I see 
           some textbox text in front of the picture, what will become invisible
           when I bring the picture to the most foreground (click somewhere into
           a white area in the middle of the document, when full page picture is
           selected, menu 'Modify -> Arrange -> Bring to Front')
           All real ocr text should be behind picture
