openoffice.org problem
I am getting the following message when I try to open a pdf file that I had saved on my desktop or open the program to work
either another instance of OpenOffice.org is accessing your personal setting or your personal settings are locked.
simultaneous access can lead to inconsistencies in your personal settings, you should make sure user 'dradheshwar' closes OpenOffice.org on host 'ds-macbook-pro.home'.
do you really want to continue?
yes no
I removed the previous download of OpenOffice.org from my computer and installed it again. The problem persists.
How to resolve, can you help?
Many thanks.

This error message is related to your profile in fact. When a user runs AOO, there is a lock file in the user profile to prevent such situation.
At the root of the user profile (see http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 ), in the \3 folder, there should be a .lock file. Just delete it.

With OpenOffice closed, find and delete any lock files on your computer. These have a form like .~lock.fred.odt# where fred is the filename and the type will vary according to the OpenOffice application
I am aware that OpenOffice Draw can do minor edits to .pdf files, but it is not intended for major pdf file revision. You should look for another tool if that is what you intend.
