Postscript, PDF Problems with Iceape and OpenOffice

["Thomas H. George" <lists@tomgeorge.info>]

The iceape browser will open foo.ps files with viewer but not foo.pdf
files which it tries to re-save.

Openoffice3 opens either of these file types as if they were ascii
files.

file foo.ps reports foo.ps: PostScript document text conforming DSC level 3.0, Level 2

file foo.pdf reports foo.pdf: PDF document, version 1.4

Needless to say gs and xpdf open their respective files with no
problems.

Something has changed - Openoffice? and Iceape? or something in my
Debian Squeeze setup?
