Reply: Viruses in PDF’s
by Ihor Jakowec 03 Jul '23

03 Jul '23

Here is a link to an article about viruses in PDF files, it is from Adobe®. https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/resources/can-pdfs-contain-viruses.html Minimizing risk is important. Even clicking on a link such as the one above is risky. (Some of the letters could be in Cyrillic. So I take the extra effort to type out the link. I find unusually long links suspicious. Also, you can use a trusted search engine to find out if you can reach the same web page.) To any developers out there: PDF file readers should have malware detection software built in that warns a user about potential malware. Such as PDF’s built by latex that have write18 enabled. my regards, Ihor Jakowec Sent from my iPad ================================================================

How does on get the date function to work in Libre Office spreadsheet?
by eh＠eduardhiebert.com 08 May '23

08 May '23

Hi, I've formatted the cells as date mm/dd/yy and entered the values as is. Also tried by preceeding with equal sign in case deemed to be a formula but neither works. I assume a difference between two days yields the difference in days, correct? Or are the formula different than plain math? Eduard the Osborne guy at last meeting
