------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Sep 18 06:12:16 -0700 2006 ------- Suggestion for (probably dramatically) increasing the audience of OOo: When saving a file as PDF, OOo should have an option of "Save as OOo-editable PDF"; this would translate in saving the document in PDF format, but with an attached file (included as an object in the PDF) that would contain the complete document in native OOo format. In this way, the document could be opened for reading by anyone having an "ordinary PDF viewer", but it could also be opened by an OOo user for editing (the fact that the format is an OOo-editable PDF, i.e. that it includes the complete document in OOo format, should be automatically detected by OOo when the file is opened via "Open PDF") I see this problem very often in my company: when we issue files to be processed by the MSO-based departments (mainly the accounting depts) or to our customers, we need to save the files in MSO format (with the associated headakes) even though in some 90% of the cases the documents never get edited again. However, it's a management decision to have such documents both readable via a "standard" program (both MSO and Adobe PDF Reader qualify for this title), and to have them editable in the future. Thus, no matter how much we dislike it, we end up with requiring to have the files saved in MS word format. I believe there are many companies in our situation, but of course it is up to you de look into how much of a difference would such a feature make for the deployment of OOo. Maybe the above suggestion would not have a huge impact on the large multinationals, but i believe it would make a world of difference for a large number of small- and medium-sized companies like ours. All the best, Gyll. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
