I use OnlyOffice for PDFs since it can set a default zoom level. LibreOffice can't, which it just stupid.
I use LibreOffice for other stuff though.
you can get a dedicated PDF viewer. I use my system PDF viewer and it works better than Adobe PDF I have been using for ages. This one actually makes reading PDFs bearable in the dark
Understood. I need to be able to add text and draw slaps shapes etc on PDFs.
Even your web browser is a decent PDF reader. Also LibreOffice Draw shows PDF pretty well and you can also edit it to some extent.
Sure about that? I can't check now, but I think there's an option in the advanced Export to... window.
That sounds like it should be relatively easy to implement.
Pick one.
