            Bug ID: 141732
           Summary: Each LO app should default to its own PDF import
                    filter
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I was recently very surprised to find out LO supports importing PDFs into apps
other than Draw (see bug 141730). The reason is that when you open a PDF file
in LO, regardless of which app you opened it with - it gets opened in LO Draw.
Only if you scroll down the list of input format options and locate an
app-specific PDF input filter, do you get the file imported into the app of
your choice.

So, in addition to the inconvenience of doing this, there's the fact that, like
me, I'm sure many users are simply not aware of the existence of these input
filters!

It would make more sense, be more convenient, and expose this filters, if the
PDF input filter used by default (or perhaps I should say selected by default
on the list?) would depend  on the app from which one is opening the file.
Behavior when opening from a (non-LO) file manager is also interesting to
consider but not in this bug, so I'm not making any suggestions about it.
