Hello,
I needs to copy grapics out of a PDF file to Oowriter, the problem is that its not possible to copy from a native mac utility like Acrobat Reader to OOoffice under X11
Is there a PDFviewer around running under MAC x11

I've never seen an X11 based pdf viewer compiled for OS X. The only one I can think of would be to see if anyone has made an X11 front end for ghostscript or recompiled it from other Unix platforms.
Other potential workarounds...
If you're running on Panther, you can open up the PDF in Preview then use File > Export to save it as a graphics file and then open up that graphics file in OOo or insert it as a Graphics object. I usually use TIFF files myself. This is what I do to bring in PDF screenshots into OOo.
You can also try converting the PDF to EPS. The ESP Ghostscript stuff installed along with 103GM includes some command line utilities that can help in this conversion. I have had spotty luck with using EPS files in OOo, however.
