Bug Description

(wish)

It would be very helpful to some users to allow instant saving of odt+pdf.

So with each Save or Save As, a .pdf would be auto created
(with same options as previously set, and with file name same like odt but other extension).

For other users saving odt+doc would be very helpfull.

It is trivial to do by hand, by gets tiresome if you work with bigger number of documents (or save different versions and/or update) and you try to send .doc versions to read for MS users (or .PDF to print/archive)

WORKAROUND: Use unoconv to save open document into as many file formats simultaneously as desired via the Terminal:

unoconv --listener && unoconv -f doc example.odt && unoconv -f pdf example.odt

apt-cache policy unoconv

I am confirming this bug based on the fact that it is not possible to save a document in two formats at the same time. This sounds like it might be worthwhile to submit to OpenOffice.org upstream.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
