Un Hybrid PDF it is basically a PDF document containing the embedded original document In the PDF itself, that is, among the "metadata" contained in the document, there is also the original document.
This makes it possible to create new versions of the document without altering its final presentation and allowing it to be reproduced on almost any device. |
Interesting concept that I discovered reading the task because like him ...
I had always thought of the PDF file as a fixed document, which could not, or rather, should not be modified, and this was for me the main reason for PDF files. However, after reading a magnificent article by Simon Phipps, I realized that the goal should not be the inviolability of the document, but rather the portability of the document; hence the name "p" for "portable." That's what happens when you don't pay attention to things.
How to create a hybrid PDF?
From LibreOffice it is very easy.
1. Select: File – Export in PDF format.
2.- Check the Embed OpenDocument file option.
In this way, the hybrid PDF can be opened from LibreOffice as if it were a normal ODF, without losing the original format of the document and with all the editing possibilities that the program allows.
However, users who do not have LibreOffice will be able to continue opening the PDF with any PDF viewer.
How to re-edit Hybrid PDF?
Supposedly, since LibreOffice 3.3 the extension to import PDFs should already be installed. In case when trying to open a PDF you get a lot of strange symbols, first you have to download this extension.
This extension is available in the repositories of almost all popular distros.
In Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-pdfimport
In Fedora:
yum install libreoffice-pdfimport
In Arch:
pacman -S libreoffice-extension-pdfimport
In case it is not available for your distro (or if you are a malicious Windows user), you can download it from here.
Once the extension is installed, it's as simple as opening LibreOffice and going to File – Open and selecting the hybrid PDF you created.
