Re: [libreoffice-users] What's the best way to convert a .pdf form to .odt

Hi :)
Surely just copy&"paste special" as unformatted text.  Then apply
styles.  Avoid trying to be too close to the original if that is
possible.

It's good if you can create an excuse so that people see your new form
as an improvement over the old one.  Easy ones for LIbreOffice is that
the new form is more internally consistent, ie doesn't change fonts or
sizes so much.  Maybe make it all 11point font-size "to increase
readability" (shouldn't that be "more legible"?).
Regards from
Tom :)
