PDF is not intended as and editable document format. And LibreOffice is certainly not a PDF editor. Despite the work Justin Luth did on 'Consolidate Text' for bug 118370, bug 32249 remains open to implement a different filter import approach that would do more efficient parsing of BT/ET spans and 'ActualText' streams and render text to paragraph objects rather than draw text box objects. There is little need nor justification otherwise to put dev effort into the PDF import filter(s) that drive the simple consolidate text handling. The text spans for the individual draw text boxes have been parsed as has the canvas position for the draw object. When user elects to consolidate text, the formatting of the initial text box selection is the basis for the resulting consolidation--the subsequent text boxes are not considered as they are irrelevant to the intent. That was spelled out in Justin's commit. =-ref-= https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/75043/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
