If you are absolutely sure that all of the dependencies are there and
that they will work correctly, you can tell rpm to ignore dependencies
with -nodeps.  This is normally not recommended, but it is sometimes
necessary.  I've used it with good results hundreds of times.  Then
sometimes the results aren't so good. YMMV.

rpm -ivh -nodeps openoffice.org-pdfimport-3.0.0-9.6.fc10.i386.rpm

You can always undo it with 'rpm -e openoffice.org-pdfimport' when it
doesn't work the way you expect :).
