V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- Why is this a bug? And I will restate the obvious LibreOffice is not a PDF editor! The import filter results in draw Shape textboxes not LO paragraphs. The poppler based PDF import filter does not provide the spacings recorded into PDF. We use it to convert the text runs held in PDF into draw Shape objects--specifically textbox. The lack of "justified" filter import is expected and by design. We ignore any spacing in parsing out the text. We have pretty much the same result to canvas with the poppler based Impress filter. The filters (there are two separate but similar) only provides a workflow to extract text runs (varying fidelity by script) and to merge them into one draw Shape textbox (the 'Consolidate text' action). And from there select the text stream to use if needed in a new LibreOffice paragraph object. If you need layout fidelity to the original PDF page, use the Insert PDF filter! Otherwise accept the tool for what it provides--an ability to extract text runs from PDF. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
