Aha! I think that is the first we've heard of that.

If he needs the functionality of a spreadsheet - formulae and such, 
and not just the data - then PDF will indeed not do.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest: that you might send him 
your invoice in its normal form and the data he needs as a 
spreadsheet. If he uses a recent version of Microsoft Office, either 
.xls or .xlsx should work for him. But you may still get back to your 
earlier solution ...

I'm sorry to hear that, of course.

A simpler way may be just to delete or rename your LibreOffice user 
profile (whilst LibreOffice is closed). That should have the same effect.

I hope you won't see me as being unnecessarily critical if I say that 
part of the problem here was that you did not declare some of the 
boundary conditions to your problem in your earlier messages. It was 
not surprising that people offered apparently useful suggestions that 
didn't satisfy you. It helps other to help you best if you can give 
such detail up front.
