_Any_ software able to send print jobs can generate PDF by sending the print job to a software rather than a print device. And that very same _Any_ software is the software to edit your data and then send another print job to the PDF generator exactly like you would print new paper sheets after editing the original data. PDF is not a document format. It is a virtual print out designed to look exactly like a physical print out _regardless_ of the editing software being a word processor, graphics program, web browser, computer aided design suite, desktop publishing software, charting/plotting/rendering whatever software. If it can print sheets of paper, it can also "print" PDF. You can not edit the output of arbitrary software with your word processor. The PDF extension which dissembles arbitrary PDF chunks into Draw elements is a master piece. Of course, it does not fulfill the high flying expectations of the united front of ignorants. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
