--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- As appended to meta bug 99746 <snip> Comment 9 -- bug 99746 Debra James 2024-08-17 23:42:10 UTC Created attachment 195882 Able to edit PDFs on Dell eXP 13 9370 with Draw v7.3.4.2 I am running v7.3.4.2 on my old laptop, a Dells XPS 13 9370 with Win 11 Home, and do not have any additional fonts, editing or graphics applications. I have been using Libre Office for about 9 years, and been able to edit text on PDFs with this version and all prior versions. Comment 10 -- bug 99746 Debra James 2024-08-18 00:01:12 UTC Created attachment 195883 Unable to edit PDF text with v24.2.5 I have provided an attachment that displays how I can edit PDF text with Draw on my current laptop. I just installed v25.2.5 on my other laptop, and am unable to edit PDF text. Comment 11 -- bug 99746 Debra James 2024-08-18 00:08:01 UTC I have posted some screenshots to display what I am experiencing with trying to changing text with Draw 24.2.5. I have confirmed that Edit Mode is enabled. I am an ordinary user and frequently use the "edit" PDF function when sending rental agreements to guests of my vacation rentals. I have a mini-PC which I use only for streaming, and will install Draw on it to see if I have the same experience. </snip> As noted, we do not edit PDF's in LibreOffice. You've been filter importing to a Draw ODF canvas as a sequence of draw 'Text box' objects and editing those. That work flow is sensitive to any font subset into the PDF and not available on the system with LibreOffice installed. Otherwise I can not confirm. The Draw object text boxes of a PDF filter imported to Draw canvas can be selected, and the edit cursor provides overwrite, deletion and insertion of alternate text. On Save-as filter export to a new PDF the changes to those text runs are retained as made.
