However, one thing puzzles me. In an earlier email to the list you hinted that in a future release of OPW there might be the facility to import a PDF document and edit it using Ovation Pro. How would that work? Presumably not on the preview bitmap?

Well (for example) !PDF could be used to turn the PDF into a Draw file - then there could be a new function that turned a Draw file into editable Ovation Pro objects. 

Do editable objects include text?

Or one could modify !PDF to actually output Ovation Pro DDL.

And would that mean you could import multi-page PDFs into OPW (i.e. entire documents), which would then be converted to DDL on the fly (so to speak)? If so, that would be very useful. And would the formatting/look of the original PDF be preserved? That would be even more useful.
