User Interface

PDF Import Options Dialog

Whenever a PDF is selected in the Open dialog and the PDF is not a Hyprid PDF then the user has to choose in which application (Writer, Impress, Draw) the PDF shall be imported. This is done by a subsequent dialog that shows up after the Open dialog has been dismissed.

Dialog Title

PDF Import Options

Controls

"Import PDF as" is a combo control to choose between "Text Document", "Presentation" and "Drawing". The default value is "Drawing". But the value is persistent (i.e. the next time the dialog is used, the previously selected option is preselected.)

A static text field that explains the pros&cons of the currently selected option. It changes according to the current selection of the combo control:

• Text Document - "Choose 'Text Document' to edit major parts of the text. The document might look different because of reformatting."
• Presentation - "Choose 'Presentation' to edit the slides of a presentation in PDF format."
• Drawing - "Choose 'Drawing' to edit minor details of the PDF document. This option is best to preserve the document's layout."

Buttons

• Help, Import, Cancel
