[Bug 490246] [NEW] impressive dies on ooimpress generated pdf files in Karmic

[Theodotos Andreou]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: impressive

I am using the impressive presentation package and ever since I
installed karmic it dies when I run my ooimpress presentations exported
to pdf. It works for other pdf files I found in various package manuals
but does not work on ooimpress generated pdf.
