Were you trying to drag and drop the file or a section of text? Text selections (and graphics) should be able to be cut and paste normally. Does that work? If you were trying to drag and drop a file then OOo won't read a PDF, only write it, hence the funny errors you got. Can you confirm what you were doing. If it was a text selection you've got a problem (it should work) but if it's a file, OOo doesn't support PDF. I was trying to drag and drop a pdf file into a OOo document. In OOo 2.0 and maybe up to 2.0.3 I was able to drag a pdf file and drop it onto a calc spreadsheet. It then showed the pdf right on the spreadsheet (using ole) and it worked great. I tested this with writer, impress and draw and got the errors shown below. OOo should be able to display an ole object in all of it's apps much like ms office is able to do. I then upgraded to 2.0.4 and retested. Now none of the apps are able to display a pdf as an ole object. OOo doesn't have to be able to "read" a pdf, it just has to display it as an ole object. I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]", installed AR
7.0.8 and can confirm the problem.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download testkit and unzip ('Testfile.odt' is the source for 'Testfile.pdf')
2. Open new CALC document
3. Resize OOo Window to 1/3 screen size (top left screen)
4. Open WIN EXPLORER for folder containing 'Testfile.pdf' from testkit
5. Resize EXPLORER Window to 1/3 screen size (bottom right of screen)
6. click 'Testfile.pdf' in EXPLORER Window
7. Drag and drop 'Testfile.pdf' with pressed <cntrl> into spreadsheet
contents area (cells) of CALC document
Result: A "white page with text" as visible with AR in the PDF
document becomes visible in the CALC document
So far, so good, now redo from step 2 with new DRAW document,
Result: Error Message "General input/output error", no drag and drop possible
Insert OLO object from insert menu of the document will work without problems.
Now redo from step 2 with WRITER document,
Result: Some "Insert Area" dialogue will open, if you continue without changes,
Code from PDF document (as visible when you open the PDF document with a text
editor) will be inserted
Now redo from step 2 with PRESENTATION document,
Result: Error Message "General input/output error", no drag and drop possible
WRITER,
@jkonecn, please
- specify your OS and Platform!

Thanks for confirming! Note that when I was under XP, I was able to insert PDF files in Writer documents but with a special process, see here : http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=31404 So it seems OOo can do that (being under Linux, I can't check with latest releases). Under Linux, this is not possible, even launching PDF files embedded in documents made under Windows ! Should I create a new bug report for this ? I voted for this issue as it already has mentioned that it it not possible to drag and drop a PDF into a slide in Impress (under Linux). AFAIK this is supported and a often used feature in MS PowerPoint. TM->CGU: Please have a look, seems to be more an enhancement than a defect. In my mind it's an enhancement. We should import .pdfs as plugin. Drag and drop used to work so I consider it a defect and a regression. |
