            Bug ID: 134091
           Summary: LibreOffice could try to recognize layers in imported
                    pdfs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: erwinm at alumni.beloit.edu

Description:
LibreOffice 6.4.3.2 does not recognize layers in imported pdfs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice.
2. Import a pdf which you know contains named layers.

Actual Results:
Everything is grouped into Layout, Controls, and Dimension Lines.

Expected Results:
If LibreOffice Draw kept named layers from imported PDFs this could make it
easier to hide or cut layers, which can be important when some pdfs are built
for readers which use layers and are unreadable otherwise.

But LibreOffice may need to compromise between identifying each layer and only
identifying some. I'm not sure how to detect the most important layers, except
perhaps by object size relative to page size.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
