Re: [orca-list] PDF viewers

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

Has anyone used open office to convert / read pdfs?  I believe you can 
convert to pdf from open office writer, but can you read PDF documents in 
open office?  I have not installed open office because it prevented my 
system from receiving needed updates.  As soon as I removed 
openoffice.org-core, aptitude stopped polling for open office updates and I 
was able to update my system.
