Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about 😉 When exporting a #PDF the "Hybrid PDF" option embeds the original file. Then anyone with a PDF reader can view the file – and LibreOffice users can edit it too: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid#What_is_a_hybrid_PDF_file? #foss #OpenSource

@libreoffice woah. is there a particular reason this isn't the default? larger file size?

@scien Well, the vast majority of people who're exporting as PDF want just that – only a PDF. Hence why it's one extra click, for those who really need it, in certain situations 😊

@libreoffice @scien I appreciate that it is off by default. It’s a nifty feature, but it could result in an unwanted leak of metadata.
