@gleppert: Your is locigal in the sense that a hybrid file format should have a
hybrid (double) extension. But my test under winxp was not successful - a
"some.other" extension overwrites the settings for the "other" extension.
I have not tested on newer versions.

If linking "od?.pdf" to one application and pure "pdf" under windows works (for
doubleclick, etc) then I think your "double-extension" would be a realy great
solution. Experienced user will understand and for non-experienced enduser the
extension is meaningless - the only thing that counts is what happens on
clicking to the file.

In the meanwile - in my it is the "best compromise" I know.


Another temporary way could be something like the "edit with ..." idea of
astron, but the other way round:

Register libreoffice as the primary pdf viewer and if it is not a hybrid pdf
containing a odf document then delegate to another application. There should be
a config option to select what app this is and at install time preconfigured
with the existing standard pdf application.
