Re: [libreoffice-users] Opening hybrid pdf in LO 3.6.0.2 results in gibberish

Hi :)
Yeh, people often send me their posters as Pdfs and even if i spend ages trying to clean them up in 
Gimp they still look a bit wobbly compared to the way their original looked in Word or whatever.  
It drives me nuts that i can't ask them to send me their original without totally confusing them 
and getting a reputation as being a "difficult person".  LibreOffice seems to be about the only 
Office Suite that can write uncompressed Pdfs.  This hybrid thing rocks!!

Regards from
Tom :)
