Hi Thorsten, Gerald, all!

Situation 3: LO user sends .od?.pdf: All users can view the file to

implementation, through which the counterpart does not know whether
the received .pdf-file is a hybrid PDF or not.

Sure, but since usually operating systems will still open the pdf in
the default pdf viewer, that doesn't help Joe Casual User to
recognize he can open it in LibO.

While I concur with you that hybrid pdf is a great feature, I don't
think we'll manage to workaround the technical/knowledge
limitations.

Sadly, yes.

Otherwise, there would be a need to "hack" the PDF handling - e.g.
having tools forwarding non-hybrid files to Acrobat but LibO on Windows.
Sounds easy ;-)))

If you need to give instructions on how to work with hybrid pdf
anyway, along with the file, why bother?

Also, since I don't see quick consensus evolving here - perhaps
better to take the discussion to the design list.

Hehe ... or mmh ... thinking about how you perceive the design list in
this case :-)

Although I know that Gerald already invested a lot of time to convince
developers, my proposal to him is to pick a "Whiteboard" or his personal
wiki page to document the pros / cons - and possible workarounds. There
have been a lot of ideas / comments within this thread, so it might be
hard for others to follow the original idea.

My personal take is still to either make it a native read/write format,
or to keep it solely as "export" format.

Cheers,
Christoph
