Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about 😉 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: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid#What_is_a_hybrid_PDF_file? #foss #OpenSource

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 :)

@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.

why is "tagged PDF" not enabled by default?
It's pretty much the most common accessibility issue with PDFs (not being tagged, that's the issue)

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

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.
