Thank you for contributing here Jesper.

I think that TDF members are failing to see that LibreOffice documents are
expected to be editable.

And that suggesting that users should use PDF for a presentation is absurd
(I won't even get into the Draw domain where this is even more important).
It doesn't make ANY sense to create a presentation in an application that
allows dynamic transitions, animations, videos, interactive slides and then
save the output as a static PDF...

If ODF is the file format for LibreOffice then it must support all
requirements for all the LibreOffice applications. We are not talking about
the word processor only (Writer)
