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?
Show threadLibreOfficeApr 16, 2024
@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.

@libreoffice yikes. Hope that's off by default.

@libreoffice Discovered this a few years ago, Now I ask anyone doing this to make Hybrid PDFs!
Show threadDale, The CornflowerApr 16, 2024

@libreoffice A couple notes. I created a .docx in LibreOffice (recipient required .docx), exported as Hybrid PDF. Opened the PDF in LIbreOffice. It correctly opened it in LibreOffice Writer! Made some changes and re-exported. Can do this multiple times, hooray!.

Note when you open a .docx Hybrid PDF and do a Save or Save As, it wants to save it as .odt. This is fine, but something to note if your recipient is expecting a .docx.

Thanks for a great feature.

@libreoffice won't it increase the file size?
Show threadBèr Kessels 🐝 🚐 🏄 🌱May 10, 2024

@sagir42 @libreoffice it will. Depending on the structure, content and features of a doc, the increased size is anywhere between "insignificant" and "magnitudes".

E.g. some complex object with large amounts of data that outputs a simple chart might use megabytes of storage in ODF and a few kilobytes in the PDF. So when the ODF is embedded it'll increase storage significant. Such cases are rare though.

yes, it's great for giving out PDFs which should be free to change for everyone like this #SanFrancisco #BarbaryLane street sign from #TalesOfTheCity

@libreoffice I'd rather I could just embed a video in impress without hassle/crashing all the time.

I love Libreoffice and have used it for years but some of the simple gaps after all this time are astounding.

@libreoffice

Cool feature!

Can you elaborate if this hybrid pdf will conform to the ISO standard for file attachments to pdfs?

Also, given that the latest iteration of the specification for pdf/a also allows for arbitrary attachments, will hybrid pdf/a also be possible?

Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
