A bunch of tools then appearsĬlick Options (on the right-hand side of the tools that appeared) -> Click Change Folder and Search options.Ī new window pops up. Windows 8 file name extension can be changed:Īfter I downloaded Oracle PDF Editor, I then changed the file name extension by:Ĭlick on 'View' at the top of the window that holds the downloaded PDF Editor.
Turned out the problem was caused by me not knowing how to change the file name extension in Windows 8. The original problem then became one of working out how to get the editor added into the Open Office Extension Manager in Windows 8. Note the original problem of opening a PDF file was caused by not having the Oracle PDF extension downloaded into Open Office Suite. If I click on Look for another App on this PC, I get a whole bunch of stuff and none of it is even remotely Open Office.Īnyone come across this, and if so, how did you fix it? It's driving me nuts as I rely heavily on Open Office PDF Editor - I know it, like it, and want to keep on using it. If I click on More Options, it shows the following in a column: 'Use this app for all PDF files', 'Keep using Reader', 'Nitro Pro 7', 'Support', 'Internet Explorer', 'Notepad', 'Paint', 'Windows Media Player', 'Windows Photo Viewer', 'Wordpad', 'Look for an app in the store', Look for another app on this PC'. If I click on Choose Default Programme, it shows the following in a column: 'use this app for all pdf files', 'Keep using Reader', 'Nito Pro 7', 'Support', 'More Options'.
When I right click on a PDF file, go to 'Open With', there is no Open Office Writer/Draw to click on to open the PDF file - the only thing I see are: 'Nitro Pro 7', 'Reader', 'Support', 'Choose Default Programme'. I've been using Open Office for years (on XP and Vista) and have been able to comfortably carry out required PDF edits using Open Office Draw until now - now that I have got a Windows 8 (not a touch-screen) laptop.
