So I really like that i can export an odt as a pdf with the said odt embedded inside. this allows for static documents that everyone can easily read, but also allows me to edit them if necessary, from the same file. However if i open a pdf with an embedded odt, it will open fine but i can't save the file? I can only save as. Also when i re-export the revision won't increment. so ya. is there a way to do this: open odt embedded in pdf.

NOTE: I have a fields that reflects the filename and revision.

edit it
increment the revision
save it
without doing this:

open odt embedded in pdf
edit
save odt
export odt to pdf with embedded odt
open pdf with embedded odt
export to pdf with embedded odt again, so file type shows up as pdf.

But first off LibreOffice is not a PDF editor!

You have two choices--Import and open a generic PDF into Draw (or Writer or Impress) but Draw by default.

Or alternatively--Export to "Hybrid" PDF, which extends the PDF with a copy of the source ODF document embedded.  The Hybrid PDF is then editable in that the embedded ODF is detected and opened by appropriate LibreOffice module for the ODF type.

Working with Hybrid PDF is misleading--you are "editing" the embedded ODF document, not the PDF--so no changes are made to the PDF. You have to export again, or print it, to push it back through filters and into PDF--again choosing a Hybrid PDF if that is your preference.

This query will return some of the development/QA history of Hybrid PDF

It is not a dead issue, but there is not much development interest in providing more than is done now.
