Why don't you just use LibreOffice to open the pdf?
When I try opening IEEE 802.1AE-2006 pdf, it hangs. And it is only a
142pg document.
Ok, I've never tried opening one that big. And since that file is not
publicly available, I can't test it.

It turns out that page 43 makes LibreOffice very unhappy for some
reason, probably the diagram background. There's an existing similar
bug report at
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42374 which I
added a comment to.
And that kind of diagram is very common in 802 standards. IEEE SA has
rules on such things. All documents are in Framemaker and figures and
diagrams in Visio. You REALLY want your workgroup's editor to do the
work in them, and not give them over to SA, say in Word and jpgs, for
them to convert. Unpleasant things have been known to happen. You can
eat up another year fixing them before publishing.
How do I know all that? Look at the list of participants. You will see
me there...
Of course you mean pg 43 of the pdf which is pg 31 of the standard. A
standard issue with 802 standards :)
thanks
