V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Keywords| |filter:pdf --- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- "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. Even if centered on the source document--e.g. OOXML or ODF, the resulting text box will not be centered. That is bcz the poppler and cairo based filters only record the origin position and the dimensions of individual glyphs. Those glyphs are then strung back together as text runs withing the Draw text shapes, with no lexical context nor sense of typesetting. If you need better fidelity to source PDF on the ODF document canvas, insert as an Image (using a different pdfium based filter). If you need to work within a source ODF, but export to PDF use the LibreOffice Hybrid PDF format which attaches the ODF source to the PDF and LibreOffice will preferentially open the ODF for actual editing rather than the low fidelity PDF rendering. Try the pdfium based insert filter, but in general you should not depend on LibreOffice as a PDF editor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
