            Bug ID: 127421
           Summary: Export as PDF/EPUB by default on Tabbed bar instead of
                    Export directly as PDF/EPUB
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: herzenschein at gmail.com

Hybrid PDF is a very powerful functionality that even MSWord does not have, as
far as I'm concerned. I don't recall seeing this on SoftmakerOffice, OnlyOffice
or WPSOffice either. This is supposedly a feature unique to LibreOffice.

As a translator/proofreader, oftentimes clients send PDF files and the only way
to actually translate it would be to open it on a text editor, have the file
lose its formatting and then sent to a Computer Assisted Translation tool. When
proofreading, either the proofreader opens it on a text editor, uses Track
Changes and then sends it back to the client without the original formatting,
or each correction is made with a PDF reader annotation tool. In addition,
typically the user does not have the original file. Hybrid PDF would solve such
issues.

I would like to see features like this being more discoverable to the end user.
On the new Tabbed bar (which should be attractive to MSWord converts), I think
the buttons Export as PDF/EPUB should be there by default instead of Export
Directly as PDF/EPUB. Especially since the functionality provided by Export
Directly is literally the second dialog shown in Export as.
