I'm not sure why this doesn't work but I can't import a PDF that was generated in open office. The first one from debug is the one from openoffice. The next one is from a scan that imported without issue. Attached is a sample. The PDF was generated using the OO Export to PDF. I also tried a print to PDF driver and this didn't work either,

    Only images in PDFs are currently imported. I assume that your PDF had no images

    Thanks for the follow up. Yes, it was just a text PDF.

    I did notice an issue though. I realized I was using 0.93 so I upgraded to 1.0. I read the PDF into GIMP and converted the page to a png image so I could bring it into gscan2pdf. Import is gone so I used open. The PNG didn't import properly as the image was cropped (kind of hard to explain what hapened). I then downgraded back to 0.93 and it read in without issue using Import instead of open.
