--- Comment #7 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- IMO: 1. There is no built-in means to do calculations in form fields in LibreOffice, other than writing own macros. LibreOffice *must not* put into PDFs anything absent in the source document itself, so any document with simple form fields (but without macros) must never obtain any scripting capability on export - because LibreOffice is not a PDF authoring tool, but its PDF export is designed to just store the document in another format, as is. 2. Even if there is a macro in the document, it is not a LibreOffice task to serve as a AI to convert *programs* from one programming language (say, Basic) and one document model (namely, LibreOffice/UNO document model) into another language (JavaScript) and another document model (PDF API). Not only the two document models are completely different; not only the correct automatic translation of this kind is yet impossible even for most sophisticated AI available currently. It is also a new security risk, which mitigation would be put on TDF. And then, it would still rely on an implementation of this API in other PDF viewers, giving raise to bugs like "your PDF doesn't calculate in Reader X"... WONTFIX IMO.
