Bug#550194: openoffice.org-pdfimport: PDF Import: General error General input/output error

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Package: openoffice.org-pdfimport
Version: 1.0+OOo3.1.1-4
Severity: normal


I cannot load the following PDF file using openoffice.org-pdfimport extension:

http://www.lautoentrepreneur.fr/images/5_Facturier.pdf

When I start oowriter, click open on the file, I get a: General Error / General input/output error

However using command line tool such as pdfopt, it seems it can produce an equivalent file that oowriter can then reads fine.

Please either consider supporting the initial file, or document the pdfopt trick. pdfopt is in package ghostscript.

Thank you !
