I'm not sure if Dia might cover this requirement, it's available for Linux and Windows and it has all sorts of things for making diagrams, it might be worth a look.I've been trying to get a few of the people at college to try some open source stuff and am enjoying a lot of success for a change. I've managed to push openoffice almost without opposition; it seems the last m$ office outing has left those who struggle a bit out in the cold after they "moved everything". Once I showed a small group they could load/save m$ formats they've done the job of evangalising for me. Anyway, to this end I've been asked to find two more alternatives: Something for making charts, mind maps, flow charts etc, like Smart Draw - eg very easy to use, semi-automatic.
So you mean you want to basically take the contents of PDF's and import that into OpenOffice?Something for converting PDF's or a way to get PDF's inside Openoffice text documents. I havent been asked to get text in, just downloaded charts etc found on the net.
Um... not sure on that one, I've looked into it before, there are pdf to ps/eps converters out there, but I'm not overly sure on that.
