Actually the Hybrid PDF needs a better solution than Export to PDF. It isn't user friendly that you need to remember to Export to PDF instead of Save when you do modifications to the file (and that you should NOT save the document at the end of the session if you don't want an extra file with the same content).

Those are bad news for AOO... In any case I submitted a bug about the crashing problem. I just found out that opening any PDF will crash AOO 4.2 if the PDF Import extension is not installed so there is no need to provide a sample hybrid file https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125766 Regards, Pedro
