hello LOers,
I use draw to sign pdf documents, adding a signature bitmap on them. (Ubuntu 22.04/ LO 24.8)
Using this “export immediately as pdf” function (from the file menu) results in open office stalling and taking ages to export the document to pdf (about 10s per page!). If trying to use any another app of LO, you have an extremely annoying quit/wait message which pops up which you must click on every few seconds, otherwise the pdf export never happens.
I just lost an hour in front of my laptop just to sign 3 documents.
This happens also with impress (odp and pptx) and writer files (docx and odt).
I see two possibilities:
- correct this very immature behaviour, which seems to exist since 2005 ?!
- deprecate/suppress this export function whatsover and make users use the in-system pdf printer. Which I will do in the future.
thanks for your feedback,
D
