             Bug #: 51764
           Summary: : extensions page misleading, they aren't "included in
                    the package" on Linux
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.4 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: WWW
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: info at skierpage.com
                CC: website at global.libreoffice.org


Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Google search for "libreoffice import PDF"
2. Visit http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/
3. It optimistically says
"Note that, in LibreOffice 3.3, many great extensions that were formerly
separate downloads have now been included in the package as standard features:
    PDF Import: the PDF Import extension ..."
Yay, great!

Current behavior:
But Ubuntu's packaging of LibreOffice *does not* include these extensions. 
Writer's Tools > Extension Manager  lists only "Script provider for Python". 
In Ubuntu PDF import is a separate package, libreoffice-pdfimport , and best as
I can tell this is not part of the default LO install.

Expected behavior:
Add a note to http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/ e.g.
"Some Linux distributions provide these extensions separately; you can use your
computer's package manager or software center to install them."

Platform (if different from the browser): 
Kubuntu 12.04 amd64

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120621 Firefox/14.0
SeaMonkey/2.11
