So why bother with a confusion? My take: WF. Well there are some practical implications A) You insert a mix of PNG and PDF images? How do you separate both of them? Currently you need to unzip the ODT for clarity B) A PDF document retains the selectable text of the embedded PDF when exported to PDF. Not something you expect for PNG (comment 1) C) Using compress Image entails deleting the embedded PDF, but how can you be aware of it being an PDF and not a PNG, as this is the filetype identified in the Compress Dialog. Question is even if Insert -> Image being the 'proper' way. Some could argue it should actually be a separate category: Insert -> PDF. * Not a screen capture type of the PDF (image), get inserted by truly the PDF itself * The PDF can also be text-only, so not the label 'image' is not really appropriate. * The text is even selectable after PDF export of a document with embedded PDF (as under B), which is again atypical for an image. * This would make it possible to show the PDF's in the navigator as separate category, making it way easier to identify. Yes, insertion of a PDF can also be done by drag & drop and copy/paste but that's not the point.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
