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
That’s a pretty creative way of handling proprietary PDF stuff. Especially since Adobe is shit at editing them
It’s similar to how Adobe Illustrator works—if you leave the default compatibility options checked, saving in PDF or native AI format results in an identical file with the only difference being the filename extension.
