ES 10.1, remain a common source document LibreOffice users need to manipulate in some fashion. Inability to even view it is distracting. Our current pdf import filters (both pdfium and poppler based implementations) do not parse the XML describing the form. pdfium now has an XFA parser [1], poppler is looking at it [2]. And, mozilla has added XFA support to pdf.js [3]. XFA based forms are not going away anytime soon, so ability to at least expose the PDF form as an image with our pdfium implementation seems reasonable minimal handling. Worth the effort? =-ref-= https://github.com/chromium/pdfium/tree/master/xfa https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/530 https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/2373 Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99746 [Bug 99746] [META] PDF import filter in Draw https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114233 [Bug 114233] [META] PDF insert/embed bugs and enhancements -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
