This could be an idea to investigate, but I don't know how feasible it is; actually there is (or used to be) a "read only" mode in OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice, but if I recall correctly the LibreOffice developers hated it. > if we were to promote a "quick and dirty" > "LibreOffice Reader", very much like the "Adobe Acrobat Reader", whose > sole purpose is to provide the ability to "read" ".odt" files, there > would be no need to carry .pdf formatted files. This, however, won't work. Document fidelity is not the aim of ODT files, while it is the aim of PDF files (example: font embedding, but one could find many more). Replacing PDF by ODT is just not feasible due to the formats themselves, not to the lack of an "ODF Reader".
