--- Comment #16 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Lightsky from comment #15) > But specifically for Writer even outputting text with new paragraphs (even > if its 1 paragraph for each line of original PDF) instead of a textbox for > each line would make it much easier to edit in Writer (as a 1st step). That is actually not just a "first step" - it is already a big part of the work. To do what you suggest, we would need to decide what the relative linear order of most boxes is; and which of them start paragraphs. If you've done that - you're already half way to complete document structure reconstruction (and note that I didn't say _perfect_ document reconstruction). > One could add another "behavior" parameter to a filter function in order not > to split the code between Draw and Writer. I'm not a developer working on this code; but I can still share experience from other projects and note that making a single piece of code have multiple configurable behaviors sometimes makes it more complicated than just splitting the code into distinct somewhat-similar pieces. Think about, say, a pair of smaller and larger knives, vs. a swiss-army-knife... I'm sure that if and when developers start working on this, they'll make a good call regarding what parts of the code to share and what parts to keep apart. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
