            Bug ID: 123993
           Summary: unable to open hybrid PDFs if "PDF/A-1a" was selected
                    in export dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: felix.schwarz+bdforg at oss.schwarz.eu

Description:
Somehow LibreOffice Writer does not export hybrid PDFs correctly when PDF/A-1a
was selected (or it does not open them correctly).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a document in LibreOffice Writer
2. File -> Export as... -> Export as PDF (roughly translated from German)
3. check "Hybrid-PDF" AND "PDF/A-1a (ISO 19005-1)"
4. export file
5. open created PDF file in writer

Actual Results:
Writer displays the PDF as text:
> %PDF-1.4
> %äüöß
> 2 0 obj
> <</Length 3 0 R/Filter/FlateDecode>>
> stream
...

Expected Results:
Actual LibreOffice document can be edited with all previous formatting.

I suspect hybrid PDFs may not be possible with PDF/A but in that case I think
the "Hybrid" checkbox should be inactive/disabled to ensure there is no data
loss. (The user might rely on the ability to retrieve the document from the
exported PDF without storing it separately.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I'm using LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 from Fedora 29.
