Description Daniele 2025-03-30 14:26:43 UTC
Description:
Context: working on a document coming from an ocr recognition and aiming at a new formatting, the format, images, styles, paragraphs (which typically get split in the ocr result), italics (which tend to disappear), together with words not recognized correctly have to be checked against the original without a binary check level (using diff software for example).

This feature would be extremely useful in order to be able to immediately correct the odt document when needed, but missing presently.

Steps to Reproduce:
Workaround: open pdf and odt side to side

Actual Results:
Scroll them down alternatively.

Expected Results:
One should be able to do that scrolling both at the same time (and adjusting them or, better, having them constantly aligned vertically by LO).


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Daniele 2025-03-30 14:44:44 UTC
The above enhancement should work both with same-language documents and with different-language documents.

If possible, the best thing would be having a diff done at the same time for same language documents, which would allow to amend mistakes on the fly. Such as: https://draftable.com/compare
