If the pdf file was created by scanning a piece of paper into a pdf file, you'll need an OCR (optical character reader) program to try and get the words off of the scanned image and back into an editable file.

Is the file you're trying to open supported by OpenOffice?

Since you didn't mention which version, I had to take a WAG.

it is not any OFFICE APP. it's just the plain and simple wordpad coming with WXPpro.
OpenOffice writer won't properly open a filed scanned document , only unreadable letters.
.Firefox pdf will open it , but won't let me selectall/copy
THANKS...

I tried also Openoffice writer and after scanning with OCR on it..... I couldn't copy/paste.
at the moment I'm trying Readiris...but ...it says that MSwordpad is corrupted....but with other files it works, it's only with this the problem.
I'll try Readiris with Openoffice (i'm not so sure on how to use it)

No, simply unzip it over your copy.

If you're scanning a piece of paper into a PDF file, your scanner is actually taking a picture of that piece of paper and then stuffing it inside a PDF file. And now, because it is a picture of a piece of paper, you're not going to be able to simply copy and paste any letters you see off of the image.
To do something like that requires OCR software. It will look at a picture and try to determine what is and isn't characters. It then takes the characters it finds and puts them into a file that can be edited with programs like Notepad, WordPad, Word, etc. OCR software is NOT perfect. It can get it close to right, depending on the quality of the scan and other factors, but, 100% correct 100% of the time hasn't happened yet.
