Description Peter Maiwald 2021-05-03 09:47:12 UTC
Description:
I create a libreoffice draw file and export it as a hybrid pdf. How can I see that the pdf file contains an editable Libreoffice file and what program can I use to open it?

The dolphin filemanager (KDE Plasma) does not show any information about this.

Okular, Adobe Reader, mupdf, Foxit Reader, and PDF-XChange Editor do not show an embedded file! See the bugreport here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436301

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a hybrid pdf with Libreoffice (Draw).
2. Open this file in okular.
3. Click on File menu and see that embedded files is grayed out.

Actual Results:
Okular, Adobe Reader, mupdf, Foxit Reader, and PDF-XChange Editor do not show an embedded file! I can't see that it has an editable file and what program I can use to edit it.

Expected Results:
I can tell from the icon in the file manager or in the pdf viewer that there is an editable file and which program I can use to edit it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I need to be able to see that the pdf file contains a file that I can edit further. I also need to be able to see which program I can use to edit the file (Draw, Writer ...)

The problem doesn't seem to be with the pdf readers.

No, the LibreOffice project "Hybrid PDF" simply embeds an auxiliary stream into the PDF holding the ODF file.

And *only* LibreOffice will open such a "Hybrid PDF" back into its ODF module component.

Other PDF Readers can see the stream, but of course would not recognize that the PDF is a LibreOffice "Hybrid PDF"--and will ignore it and simply open the PDF.
