Only in your mind, but not for any active developer nor in the majority of users. Most know better. Calling it such, or LibreOffice treating PDF as an editable format just raises unreasonable user expectations--and disappointment them with the marginal results. More desirable for the majority of users and supporting reasonable workflows with PDF would be to implement improvements in page handling (bug 114234), and PDF text object stream aggregation and transformation into Paragraph objects (bug 32249). There really is no advantage to import filter transformation from PDF with pixel perfect placement of draw object text runs without lexical context. The pdfium insert filters already excel at that. PDF is a publication/presentation format not an editable document--there is no such thing as a PDF editor, as PDF are not editable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
