Hi Marc, Well when you say .pdf you mean a file descriptor. How about we rather talk about ISO 3200-1, a standard often called PDF 1.7. Perhaps we could talk about PDF/A as a standard. (Laughing, that is sure to get a response...) OK - so a LibreOffice reader? I would say what about an ODF reader and there are already a few: http://odf-viewer.findmysoft.com/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/odfreader/ Then there are a few for mobile platforms: Android, iOS and Palm The root problem IMO is that ODF isn't designed to do what PDF is designed to do, meaning simply that each has a place and a purpose. But that doesn't there isn't some room for an ODF reader with some tie in with LibreOffice branding, per se. Just my thought on this anyway. <big snip> Thanks, Drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
