Libre or Open Office.

And why ?

Thank you !

I have a large PDF that I saved to a .DOC file so I can edit it.
The PDF contains many images and tables so I am hoping to maintain all
of that so as to minimize rewrite.

I will be changing paragraph text only.


After trying both of them, I found the Libre did a better job of
rendering most documents, pdf & doc. I was using Windows at the time
and didn't want what seemed like a bloated Word (MS Office) products. I
also tried a 3rd product, don't think it was WPS Office, but it was
horrible. Now that I'm on Linux, it's built into the system and
updates cleanly so I'm happy and working fine.

I just found out too that I could edit PDF's. My MRI/X-RAY lab allows
me to download the reports as PDF's but they usually are 1 page with a
2nd almost blank page. I like to delete that last page. And editing
printed recipes taking out the ads is a great use too.

Here is an interesting chart showing Libre and MS Office.
