--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- The 'Consolidate Text' utility was implemented expressly for bug 118370 as a means to work with lexically disjointed text span content filter imported from PDF as draw textbox objects. Realistically, no one authoring a document would prepare/place text boxes and then choose to consolidate them. And other than with import of PDF content, concerns for loss of spatial placement/formatting of subsequent draw objects is a non-issue. So as implemented the utility is intended only for handling import of PDF, and as such it is suited to task with needed enhancement to the import process to be done for bug 32249 Implementing bug 32249 would probably continue to use the poppler/cairo libs as now, or possibly could shift to a pdfium based solution. In either case to import PDF text spans directly to ODF Paragraph objects or consolidated sd Textbox objects depending on the LO module receiving the import. This is NAB, and see no need for Enhancement of the utility as implemented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
