--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
LibreOffice is not a PDF editor, you risk corruption of your PDF by treating it
as such. We will not position it as such--WONTFIX
A few comments:
1. LibreOffice does not edit a PDF "directly", rather it is read by filter--an
old filter will render elements of the PDF as Draw objects placed on pages of a
Draw document (or into document pages of a Writer or Impress document if that
filter configuration is picked).
At 5.3.0 a new filter will treat the PDF as an image and insert the first page
of the PDF as an image into Writer, Calc or Impress document.
2. All save/save-as or export from LibreOffice is likewise filter based.
The internal document is written by filter and saved to a ODF format used for
the module that opened the PDF.
The option to Export from a module to PDF is a different filter than used for
PDF import.
The OS and LibreOffice hold lock on the "opened" PDF--that is safest, but as
you note is not the most convenient. But as LibreOffice is _not_ a PDF editor
this is appropriate.
