ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.0 released with a redesigned interface, new diagram viewer, support for Markdown files, OCR for PDFs, collaborative PDF form editor, enhanced content controls
https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2025/06/onlyoffice-docs-9-0-released
New blog post, with a brief introduction to the (possibly underrated) #Writerperfect tools.
These tools are based on the very same libraries used by @libreoffice. They can convert a wide range of legacy (mostly word processing and #spreadsheet) file formats to the modern #OpenDocument and #EPUB formats.

#Vulnerabilties in #Apache #OpenOffice (#ApacheOpenOffice / #OpenOfficeOrg / #AOO), do not forget to replace by #LibreOffice for security and improvements (#DocumentFoundation / #OpenDocument / #OpenOffice / #StarOffice / #OfficeSuite / #ProductivitySoftware) https://www.libreoffice.org/
@DrPen I purposefully choose to use @libreoffice / #LibreOffice equivalents or Straight-up name the file type I want (because If I say #TextDocument I can get anything;from a #txt file to #YADL to #Markdown, #LaTeX, #HTML, #OpenDocument & #PDF depending on who I ask and how they feel like)...
@noodle "discouraged"?
I mean #MicrosoftWord can use #OpenDocument just fine...
@heinelo genau das sehe ich fundamental andersherum, eben weil jene #Monokultur ein Problem ist, sollten Leute umso mehr an offene Standards gewohnt werden.
#MicrosoftOffice kann problemlos #OpenDocument verarbeiten, aber #OOXML ist bewusst so designed dass es faktisch unmöglich ist dies sauber zu implementieren!
Wäre was anderes wenn Mensch zu "Fachsoftware" fenötigt wird wie :würg: SAP oder :kotz: DATEV...
@santiago I agree for the most part, and that's why the "#Rubbon" is a hideos #Enshittifucation to #LibreOffice because it's space-inefficient and unnecessarily increases mouse movements and necessary keystrokes!
#WhatsMissing is a #OfficeSuite that is #KISS-principled, sleek and elegant as well as accessible.
#OOXML should be outlawed, alongside #MicrosoftOffice which can't comply with #GDPR anyway...
@Lichtenbergian @MissConstrue same with [most] #Linux #desktop distros...
Worst-case the composer in question will have to basically get their scores exported as PDF and then someone has to painstakingly enter them elsewhere if not wait for an #OCR-Tool that can handle #SheetMusic and output stuff in #SMuFL as a #Unicode & #W3C Standard to display sheet music.
@msw I personally tell people to only sent me #OpenDocument or better editable #PDF forms because I can't and won't use Microsoft's #Govware!

@msw And that's how we get bloated shit like #OOXML that NOONE SHOULD EVER USE - PERIOD!

Espechally when #OpenDocument is the superior format that is without #bloat and with a specification that anyone but Microsoft can even implement!

I'm experimenting how to make spreadsheets better to work with git. This gist compares the same change in #flatods format by @libreoffice with two simplified formats, one in xml and one in yaml. #libreoffice #spreadsheets #opendocument

Would be great to see #governments not so blatantly endorse a product. 48 CFR § 1452.203-70 prohibits. #Microsoft
#Word should be replaced with something else. Maybe #OpenDocument Text? Wouldn't you agree @libreoffice?
