I could not find any Linux application that can slightly emulate Adobe Acrobat. Fingers crossed! The feature that I badly looked for, and heard that is added to OO 3 is pdf edit.

Please note that the "force-architecture" option in step 4 of my instructions above must have two dashes, not just one. Apparently the blog software here likes to strip out double-dashes. I hit my back button to make sure I included a double-dash, and I definitely did, but it's gone now. Again, make sure you have a double-dash in front of "force-architecture". Correction.

Download the package to your desktop: http://openoffice.mirror.ac.za/stable/3.0.0/OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz 2. (AMD64 only) Install the 32-bit libraries: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 3. Extract the archive: tar xzf ~/Desktop/OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz -C ~/Desktop/ 4. Install OpenOffice(*): sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ~/Desktop/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/DEBS/*.deb 5. Create a menu link (System/Preferences/Main Menu).

Clean up: rm -r ~/Desktop/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/ rm -r ~/Desktop/OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz (*) The "--force-architecture" option in step 4 is for amd64 systems. It may be omitted for 32-bit systems, but leaving it in will do no harm. Note also the double-dash in "--force-architecture". Other commenters above had just one. Hope this helps!

This just helped me install the final version, since OO is still on version 2.4 on Intrepid. I was just about to give up, because I didn't feel like finding out the right order in which I was supposed to install all the .deb packages. Wow thanks!
