LibreCalc data sorting problem

After importing a csv file, you could not be able to sort your data, if you have to sort “date” cells. Indeed, even setting cells as date format and the right date format (such as GG/MM/AAAA or the like), you couldn’t be able to sort as expected your data.

To fix this, as explained here, you should import in LibreCalc a csv file with something like “date” checking “Detect special numbers” field. In this way you should be able to sort your items by the “date” columns.

pdf editor (linux)

The best pdf editor in linux is, IMO, Master PDF. That is not, however, an open source application: to get its full function you must buy a (quite expensive) license.
You can bypass this problem using a previous pdf master release, that have less features, but all free. Remember to lock (pin) this relaese, otherwise your software manager will update it to the new ones.

There are others pdf editor, but not so good

  • LibreDraw i.g. can edit a pdf, but the result a very untidy (detroying original formattation) and huge-sized (4 or 5 bigger than the original one) page.
  • Scribus can edit a pdf, but not the outlines, and in a very poor mode. Moreover big pdf files are a problem for Scribus.
