My understanding of that recent files lists are files you recently
edited and are therefor likely to be editing again.  That would not be
the case with PDFs.  Creating PDFs would be more like printing the
document and I don't recall there being any recently printed documents list.

Test results ...
opened a new LibreOffice text document
added some text
File - Export as PDF
check box to Embed OpenDocument file
exported
closed LibreOffice text document without saving

PDF file was created, and could be opened with Okular
PDF file did not appear in File - Recent Documents
PDF file could be opened by LibreOffice for editing.

Hope that helps

Bug report:  https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66412

Would anyone like to comment on this and state how this might be resolved?

Thanks,

Question: how are you looking for the file, through LibreOffice, such as in
File - Recent Documents
?
Since a PDF file is not normally a LibreOffice format, I don't believe 
it should show up there.


I say normally because when exporting a document as a PDF, one does 
have the option to Enable OpenDocument File ... I have not tested 
that, but it is supposed to make the PDF editable in LibreOffice, and 
possibly it would then appear in File - Recent Documents?  Maybe?

Fred James

Hello,

Thanks for your insights. I managed to find a working solution to my
problem. As long as I just export the document to PDF (even with Embed
OpenDocument File option checked), the document won't appear in the
list of recently modified documents.

But if I check the option View PDF after export, then apparently my
PDF viewer Evince will modify the file so that it appears in the list.

See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Iqf7kPK.png

Thanks for your help,

Robert
