Yes, most people can read a pdf. That's not the issue here. The issue is a customer wants to copy and paste the contents of the invoice for his own bookkeeping processes. Copy and pasting from a pdf is not the same as copy and paste from a spreadsheet. I have a specific need to save a copy as a Microsoft Office readable format. I have been saving as a copy for years as a Microsoft Word document for this one client, and it has worked until recently. Most likely I did an upgrade on Libre Office and broke something. I have found a solution, that saving only the spreadsheet portion and sending that as an Excel document will work for him. Until I figure out what I broke.
