Quote: ""Editing" a PDF with LibreOffice makes no attempt to maintain the precise width of source PDF objects when creating the Draw text boxes holding text runs being parsed from the source PDF." This is redundant as this is a enhancement request for the editing portion of the LibreOffice DRAW program. I fully understand that it doesn't keep the exact perimeters of the prior program associations of locations of objects whether text, images or other such as color. What you are referring to is Basic common knowledge of the normal editing options currently available. What this request of enhancement was referring to is not currently an option within the LibreOffice options of editing a PDF. The request is "a centering function enhancement of a text box according to current margin settings as a clickable icon the same way it is for the text INSIDE the text field." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
