Description computerhotline 2007-01-05 10:51:23 UTC 
Because there isn't any free reader of PDF files, this feature could be built in
OOo.

---French translation---
Etant donné qu'il n'existe pas de lecteur de PDF libre, la lecture des PDF ne
pourrait-elle pas être possible dans OOo. Cette fonctionnalité serait la bienvenue.
Comment 1 Olaf Felka 2007-01-05 11:09:04 UTC 
This is not a defect. BTW: Acrobat Reader is free! BTW2: We don't need any
translation in issues. Common language is english.
Comment 2 computerhotline 2007-01-05 12:09:47 UTC 
Adobe Reader is not under a free license (GN GPL, GNU LGPL,...), it's not a free
software.
Comment 3 Olaf Felka 2007-01-05 12:46:38 UTC 
OK, but that's not what you have written initialy
Comment 4 computerhotline 2007-01-05 16:59:46 UTC 
I think only the open of PDF file should be possible into OOo.
Comment 5 openoffice.org 2007-02-17 12:38:48 UTC 
If you want to import PDF files to edit, this bug is an duplicate of Issue 10384 .

Using OOo as a viewer for PDF is not desired imho. If you're looking for an
OpenSource PDF viewer, have a look at X-PDF: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ (and I
guess there are plenty more around...
