Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about πŸ˜‰ When exporting a #PDF the "Hybrid PDF" option embeds the original file. Then anyone with a PDF reader can view the file – and LibreOffice users can edit it too: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Fa…? #foss #OpenSource

LibreOffice reshared this.

Thanks!

I know some people that may benefit from this, looking forward to informing them and getting their feedback.

Thinking of what use cases I might have for this. Thanks.

I guess that ir requires creating partial odfs entirely, but it would be great if you can have the 'range' option with the hybrid pdf checked.

I might try to find a student who would like to tinker it around on a fork.

Thanks for all your work! I'd been a hardcore user of LibreOffice for a decade :)

woah. is there a particular reason this isn't the default? larger file size?
in reply to Scien

@scien Well, the vast majority of people who're exporting as PDF want just that – only a PDF. Hence why it's one extra click, for those who really need it, in certain situations 😊

@scien I appreciate that it is off by default. It’s a nifty feature, but it could result in an unwanted leak of metadata.

@DarkoVr Which version of LibreOffice?
in reply to LibreOffice

yes, it's great for giving out PDFs which should be free to change for everyone like this #SanFrancisco #BarbaryLane street sign from #TalesOfTheCity

@DarkoVr OK – please try with the latest release (LibreOffice 24.2.2) and if it's still an issue, let our QA community know with a quick report at bugs.documentfoundation.org – Thanks! 😊

I'd rather I could just embed a video in impress without hassle/crashing all the time.

I love Libreoffice and have used it for years but some of the simple gaps after all this time are astounding.

Cool feature!

Can you elaborate if this hybrid pdf will conform to the ISO standard for file attachments to pdfs?

Also, given that the latest iteration of the specification for pdf/a also allows for arbitrary attachments, will hybrid pdf/a also be possible?

Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
