clicking on this, also opens a blank page, with the .odt name in the 
lower left corner. double-clicking on that opens libreoffice and shows 
it, and will export a ITI.VPAT(1).pdf that chromiun can display just

I didn't try this .doc link.
Point being that a good .pdf just works, this doesn't without loading 
the .odt and reprocessing it.
