he PDF Import Extension is by far one of the most popular OOo extensions with more than 1 million downloads since it was released. This release addresses several known issues and also introduces some new features:

• Import of password-protected PDF files
• Imported shapes with default style
• Support for colors and bitmaps

Please notice: As editing PDF is not a trivial task and PDF was not designed for editing, this extension will probably never be final. There will always be PDF documents that can't be imported 100% accurately. Nevertheless, encouraged by the huge number of positive comments and the latest improvements in this extension, we decided to remove the Beta tag from this release. To further improve the quality of this extension, please continue to send us feedback to dev@graphics.openoffice.org.

If 100% layout accuracy is important, please also notice that this PDF Import extension will enable the PDF export into a hybrid PDF file. A hybrid PDF file is a PDF with the embedded source file as ODF. Hybrid PDF files will be opened in OpenOffice.org as an ODF file without any layout differences, while users without this extension can open the PDF part of the hybrid file
