I don't think that incompatibilities in Libreoffice are something to
be concerned with. I work a lot with Libreoffice in non-profits, in
one case we're still doing all our financial planning based on
a sheet I created back when it was StarOffice, and there are never
any problems that aren't just related to formatting or can't be
easily fixed (e.g. when a function is renamed). I can't even
remember when the last problem occured, to be honest.
However, I am open to the idea of creating a PDF and it probably
makes it easier to refer to an approved budget as a PDF-snapshot of
a spreadsheet that can keep changing.
There's already an overview page designed to produce a quick-n-easy
PDF for the salient information. I don't think it makes sense to
just distill everything from the current file into a PDF. What would
help is knowing what information you'd want in such a snapshot.
- the overview?
- the detailed expense listing?
- what else?
