Description ajithtitus 2009-11-12 20:02:13 UTC

I tried to save a writer document that had a lot of text and pictures(long 
laboratory report).

I need to recover the text of the document. OpenOffice had a problem trying to 
save the file. It was saved numerous times before the failue, and the document 
became corrupt at the last save I made. I tried the recovery method and it 
still cannot fix the problem.

@ajithtitus: we'd like to know how you could create such a defect document.
Did you save it in OOo or used an external tool?
What did you do last before saving?

@MAV:
- Confirmed: the attached file cannot be opened/repaired in OOo.
- I try to repair it using:
zip -f
-> failed
zip -ff
-> succeeded in recreating a clean zip file with a document structure but the
document still won't load due to a missing manifest.xml

Can you please recreate a manifest.xml, repair the attached "repaired.odt" document?

Can we fix something in that matter?

half-repaired document

Comment 4 mikhail.voytenko 2009-11-13 14:42:41 UTC

The problem looks to be that the ending of the file looks to be missing. 

If there is a scenario that allows to reproduce such a corruption in OOo please
provide it here. Please also try to look in the <user home>/.openoffice/3/backup
folder for a copy of the file if the storing process has crashed.

I will attach the version that I have got after the quick recovery.

This resolution is for the purpose of consolidation of situations where a document is lost/corrupted after save/shutdown.

Note that after some forensic work, in this case, some of the document was recovered.
