That's really neat to see...and makes this issue suddenly so frustrating.
This kind of feature would absolutely transform the PDF experience. Imagine if LO alone could support it, maybe with the addition of a few viewers. I'll bet a lot of cool simulations or narrative experiences could be developed. Even if they're already doable elsewhere.
Thanks to the author for sharing the post.
- kzrdude 3y agoIf this had become common 20 years ago I'm not sure PDF would be as appreciated as it is today. Immutable pages laid out in sequence is one of the great features of PDF. I'm not sure we'd enjoy the stateful opaque pdf state machines.
