V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- PDF is not an "editable" format. Rather it is a presentation and exchange format (its roots in the PostScript page description language) to represent documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. It is a final fixed output destination, user *touch-up* is possible (but why would project need to, if we are creating/editing the source ODF document?). So just NO. Instead continue to improve current dichotomy of good import filter (for each ODF module) as new source content for new/existing ODF documents, and of good export filter(s) to output ODF documents. But make no efforts toward PDF as a directly manipulated format--it is out of scope of project. PDF form filling is a specific process, and filling interactively or from an ODF source table, i.e. Base or Calc, might be worth pursuing. But that would likely be pdfium based, not cairo/poppler. But that is not this ask. IMHO => WF -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
