No, it is not. It is just a workaround to make PDF suck less.

It is not difficult at all.

Wrong. A hybrid PDF is still a PDF. Also, there is _no way_ to differentiate a hybrid PDF from normal PDF except opening it, So these files would not be listed in open dialog. > > Current behavior: > The user needs to go through the process of exporting and avoiding the > standard saving mechanisms, which is odd and cumbersome and makes it hard > for it to become a desirable habit.

I can already imagine uninformed users trying to use export to PDF instead of normal save in other applications, "because it works in LibreOffice", and losing their work... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
