Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 105912
Digits export weirdly to PDF
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:54:29 UTC
* I'd like to point out ahead of time that this issue might, or might not, be linked to 87669. But I think this is linked to the OS X port specifically (since it doesn't happen with another port of OO to OS X, namely NeoOffice) When I export writer documents that contain Math formulas to PDF, some numbers are randomly truncated or replaced with letters from foreign languages.
Created attachment 65370 [details] A screenshot of the issue
Created attachment 65371 [details] Writer file, and its random output to PDF.
Created attachment 65402 [details] shorter sample
MRU->PL: it looks, that the problem cannot be tracked down to on certain object, but happens when there is more than one object in the document. When exporting the sample from the zip archive, there are two objects (one in top right of the first page, one in the top left of second page) which show the described problem. Then I cut down the document to these two objects and now the problem occurred only for the second object. The problem only occurred on MacOS.
I am able to reproduce in OOo 3.1.1. linux: $ cat /opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc [Version] AllLanguages=en-US buildid=310m19(Build:9420) ExtensionUpdateURL=http://updateext.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update OOOBaseVersion=3.1 ProductBuildid=9420 ProductMajor=310 ProductMinor=19 ProductSource=OOO310 UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US UpdateURL=http://update32.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=deb UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT> (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH}; BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages}) Ubuntu 9.10 32bit: $ uname -r 2.6.31-17-generic Attaching "OO PDF bug test case.pdf": File|Export as PDF from "OO PDF bug test case.odt" (TestCase.zip). The problem with this type of issue, is that the faulty PDF output is not consistent. For example, when I exported a second time, the output was fine. When I also tested (again linux) with a go-oo Ubuntu OOo build and with 320_m7 the output was fine. Yet in other cases I see examples in the go-oo/novell build doing the same (see: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/244353> <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/244353/comments/35>

I am also able to reproduce this on 64-bit Ubuntu, running OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 (Ubuntu's packaged version): kernel 2.6.31-16-generic. My own test case (a 10-page report) along with the results from several PDF exports are included there.
Now that the fix for the probable root cause (issue 107358) has been integrated into the latest OOo3.2 release candidate (OOO320_m8) please check if it is fixed there. You'll be able to download it soon from http://download.openoffice.org/next/index.html
$ cat /opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc [Version] AllLanguages=en-US buildid=320m8(Build:9472) ExtensionUpdateURL=http://updateext.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update OOOBaseVersion=3.2 ProductBuildid=9472 ProductMajor=320 ProductMinor=8 ProductSource=OOO320 UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US UpdateURL=http://update34.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=deb UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT> (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH}; BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages}) Can't get it to fail in m8; then again I wasn't able to get it to fail in m7 either. I wouldn't mark the issue as fixed just yet as this problem seems to be intermitent. Let's give it a few more days & I'll keep testing with the test files here (on m8), as well as those on the launchpad 244353 and see if I can get one of them to fail.
Also tested m8 in Win2KPro & WinXPPro: [Version] buildid=320m8(Build:9472) OOOBaseVersion=3.2 OOOPackageVersion=3.2.0 ProductBuildid=9472 ProductMajor=320 ProductMinor=8 ProductSource=OOO320 and so far it's exporting properly without issues. Again, let's give this another 1-2 days before marking fixed so that I/we can try a few more tests.
Duplicate status is now >99% certain. @noop: please verify with an OOo32-rc or final build. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107358 ***
Apologies for the delay in updating; I have not been able to get the PDF to fail in 3.2 (linux or Windows). Works for me.
