Feature-Request: PDF-XChange Editor Export to LibreOffice Writer .odt

[gunnarh]

PDF-XChange Editor offers File -> Export functionality for Microsoft Office, e.g. Microsoft Word but currently no LibreOffice Writer etc... export.

I would kindly like to ask to add Export to LibreOffice Writer (*.odt) functionality please.

Hello, gunnarh

.odt conversions (both to and from) is something we have discussed recently, and while I cannot promise it is coming any time soon the Dev team will be reviewing it when they can. Worry not, it is on our radar.

Kind regards,

[gunnarh]

Thanks Daniel,
I will keep watching the upcoming release-notes.

the Dev team will be reviewing it when they can.

Not yet?

this feature has been rejected by the developers, as you can use MS Office to convert it to a normal office format.

See "OpenDocument Text (.odt) convert to PDF (LibreOffice over Microsoft Word)"

Hello, Jensen Head

Exporting *to* and converting *from* are very different beasts. While we are investigating both possibilities, support for one or the other may come at different times based on what we find along the way.

For recordt, the ticket:
RT#7089: FR: Investigate possibility of "OpenOffice/LibreOffice" conversion and Formats
Is still "open" and in progress on this end, no need to worry, it has not been rejected.

Kind regards,

Just re-upping the request, although the ticket is apparently still open. At end of summer it will be two years since the original post above (and perhaps longer since origin of the ticket).

Hello, PDF'r

Thank you for the nudge. The ticket remains open, but with no notes on it - so I have just followed up with the Dev team to see if they can provide an update for us.

Kind regards,

I'd like to add a +1 for this FR.

BA environments are becoming more and more multi-modale, meaning, it's not any longer a MS Office only or an Open Office only but a far more heterogenous and complex ecosystem, where users "float" between application and application context depending on their situational need. In such a world, the support for a wide range of formats ist becoming key, as document formats are the "integration layer" between applications.
