Why ODF and not OOXML - TDF Community Blog
blog.documentfoundation.orgMany interpreted the last article in this series as an attack on Microsoft for using the OOXML format against users’ interests. However, this was only one of my objectives, as I also wanted to raise users’ awareness of fake open-source software, such as OnlyOffice, which partners with Microsoft in a strategy to lock users in. Users are already aware of the advantages of standard, open formats because they access sites every day whose content is accessible thanks to the HTML format. This is a standard, open format that was first developed and then defended by its inventor, Tim Berners-Lee. He prevented Microsoft from transforming it into a proprietary format with Internet Explorer 6. This forced users to have two versions of a site: one in a standard format and one in a proprietary format. Fortunately, Microsoft’s strategy failed in the case of HTML because the W3C – unlike the ISO – never recognised the changes to the format “forced” by Internet Explorer as valid. This was because Internet Explorer did not display sites in the standard format correctly. Ultimately, this forced the company to develop a browser that complies with all standards, thus allowing users to choose their preferred browser


that’s why you should use LibreOffice
As soon as Writer allows for a static standard scroll bar that doesn’t auto-hide, I will. Call me irrational, but I cannot use an application based around scrolling with no real scroll bar.
You can use “pg up” and “pg dn” to scroll. That’s what I use and it also helps that my laptop has a touchscreen so I have no complaints about scrolling around my work in LibreOffice
I use OnlyOffice for PDFs since it can set a default zoom level. LibreOffice can’t, which it just stupid.
I use LibreOffice for other stuff though.
you can get a dedicated PDF viewer. I use my system PDF viewer and it works better than Adobe PDF I have been using for ages. This one actually makes reading PDFs bearable in the dark
Even your web browser is a decent PDF reader. Also LibreOffice Draw shows PDF pretty well and you can also edit it to some extent.
That sounds like it should be relatively easy to implement.
Pick one.
Sure about that? I can’t check now, but I think there’s an option in the advanced Export to… window.
