Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.
OpenOffice was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use. Sun open-sourced the OpenOffice suite in July 2000 as a competitor to Microsoft Office,[14][15] releasing version 1.0 on 1 May 2002.[1]

OpenOffice.org originated as StarOffice, a proprietary office suite developed by German company Star Division from 1985 on. In August 1999, Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[20][21] for US$59.5 million,[22] as it was supposedly cheaper than licensing Microsoft Office for 42,000 staff.[23]
On 19 July 2000 at OSCON, Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.[14][15][24] The new project was known as OpenOffice.org,[25] and the code was released as open source on 13 October 2000.[26] The first public preview release was Milestone Build 638c, released in October 2001 (which quickly achieved 1 million downloads[20]); the final release of OpenOffice.org 1.0 was on 1 May 2002.[1]
OpenOffice.org became the standard office suite on many Linux distros and spawned many derivative versions. It quickly became noteworthy competition to Microsoft Office,[27][28] achieving 14% penetration in the large enterprise market by 2004.[29]
After acquiring Sun in January 2010, Oracle Corporation continued developing OpenOffice.org and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office,[42] though with a reduction in assigned developers.[43] Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to OpenOffice.org had also been noted by industry observers.[44] In September 2010, the majority[45][46] of outside OpenOffice.org developers left the project,[47][48] due to concerns over Sun and then Oracle's management of the project[49][50][51] and Oracle's handling of its open source portfolio in general,[52] to form The Document Foundation (TDF). TDF released the fork LibreOffice in January 2011,[53] which most Linux distributions soon moved to.[54][55][56][57] In April 2011, Oracle stopped development of OpenOffice.org[17] and fired the remaining Star Division development team.[35][58] Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed; some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice[59] while others suggest it was a commercial decision.[35]
The mission of OpenOffice.org is to create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.
The OpenOffice.org 2 series attracted considerable press attention.[152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159] A PC Pro review awarded it 6 stars out of 6 and stated: "Our pick of the low-cost office suites has had a much-needed overhaul, and now battles Microsoft in terms of features, not just price."[160] Federal Computer Week listed OpenOffice.org as one of the "5 stars of open-source products",[161] noting in particular the importance of OpenDocument. Computerworld reported that for large government departments, migration to OpenOffice.org 2.0 cost one tenth of the price of upgrading to Microsoft Office 2007.[162]
Large-scale users of OpenOffice.org included Singapore's Ministry of Defence,[180] and Banco do Brasil.[181] As of 2006[update] OpenOffice.org was the official office suite for the French Gendarmerie.[170]
Sun had stated in the original OpenOffice.org announcement in 2000 that the project would be run by a neutral foundation,[14] and put forward a more detailed proposal in 2001.[244] There were many calls to put this into effect over the ensuing years.[37][245][246][247] On 28 September 2010, in frustration at years of perceived neglect of the codebase and community by Sun and then Oracle,[69] members of the OpenOffice.org community announced a non-profit called The Document Foundation and a fork of OpenOffice.org named LibreOffice. Go-oo improvements were merged, and that project was retired in favour of LibreOffice.[248] The goal was to produce a vendor-independent office suite with ODF support and without any copyright assignment requirements.[249]
Sun's contributions to OpenOffice.org had been declining for a number of years[245] and some developers were unwilling to assign copyright in their work to Sun,[39] particularly given the deal between Sun and IBM to license the code outside the LGPL.[35] On 2 October 2007, Novell announced that ooo-build would be available as a software package called Go-oo, not merely a patch set.[266] (The go-oo.org domain name had been in use by ooo-build as early as 2005.[267]) Sun reacted negatively, with Simon Phipps of Sun terming it "a hostile and competitive fork".[37] Many free software advocates worried that Go-oo was a Novell effort to incorporate Microsoft technologies, such as Office Open XML, that might be vulnerable to patent claims.[268] However, the office suite branded "OpenOffice.org" in most Linux distributions, having previously been ooo-build, soon in fact became Go-oo.[260][269][270]
If you are using Apache OpenOffice 4.0 or later, you must use another version: PDF Import for Apache OpenOffice.
The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. Best results with 100% layout accuracy 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. Users without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file with their PDF viewer.
The PDF Import Extension also allows you to import and modify PDF documents for non hybrid PDF/ODF files. PDF documents are imported in Draw to preserve the layout and to allow basic editing. This is the perfect solution for changing dates, numbers or small portions of text with a minimum loss of formatting information for simple formatted documents.
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.
There is a simple solution to out problem with the pdfimport.uno.dll problem: try to download the adopted extension from the apache-own code website under -extras.org/p/aoo-pdf-import/wiki/Downloads as stated in my blog article ( -openofficeopenoffice-orglibreoffice-pdfimporter/). This extension works even without administration rights under Win7 64bit as far as I could test it.
I downloaded the extension and tried several times to install, both following instructions under "File/open" and using the extensions manager in OpenOffice. Each time I got an error message "loading component library failed". I already have version 1.01 installed.
Default download button at Sourceforge site is not for OOO v4.0.0
When you click on the extension on the apache open office site, you are redirected to the sourceforge site where you see the green download button. Don't click that if you have OOO v4.0.0.0
Look slightly down and to the left, and you will see
"Version for Apache OpenOffice 4.0: see here."
If you click on the blue highlighted word "here" you will be redirected to the sourceforge page for the 4.0.0 versions of the extension.
You will see options for 4 different operating systems.
For Windows 7 (or any windows version I guess), click this link:
Windows aoo-pdf-import-0.1.0-windows-x86.oxt Apache OpenOffice 4
I let it download to my downloads folder.
Open OOO, I picked the Draw program, but it probably doesn't matter.
Click Tools, and on the drop down list click Extensions
Click Add, navigate to your download folder and click the file you just downloaded.
In the window that pops up, scroll down to the bottom and click Accept.
It will install with no problems on OOO 4.
It won't enable on my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium). I just upgraded to OO 4.0 and it works like a charm, but every time I try to get this add-on to run, PDF Import 1.0.4 it gives the error message:
Loading component library failed:
file:///C:/Users/[COMPUTER NAME]/AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/sv5zbeny.temp_/oracle-pdfimport.oxt/pdfimport.uno.dll
Any suggestions? And please, use simple layman language and step by step directions. I don't speak tech. ;-)
Thanks!
I like the fact there is no cost for the openoffice but it is not as easy to understand for me. I found two that have free 30 day trials that worked perfectly --- if only i could afford to purchase. ( BluBeam Revu and Adobe Acrobat XI pro) both were so simple to make changes to pdf - create pdf- etc.
file:///C:/Users/Tim/AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/sv8snyc.tmp_/oracle-pdfimport.zip/msvcr90.dll: can not get symbol: component_getImplementationEnvironment- nor:
But I have some cases where I import a PDF [all of mine are single page PDFs] (i.e. Open it), make no changes at all, export with all defaults on the PDF export properties page, and save as a new PDF file. When I open that file in a recent copy of Acrobat the modifications appear just where you'd expect them but the image the the importer produces from the PDF has been shifted either right to the bottom of the page or all the way off! 0852c4b9a8
