PDF/A-1a export crashes on certain documents

Created attachment 83169 [details] Sample file which crashes OO.o in PDF/A export Steps to reproduce: - open the attached file - select File|Export as PDF, - check the PDF/A-1a checkbox - click export button, - select a filename, - click save, Result: OpenOffice.org will crash (Windows reports "Openoffice.org funktioniert nicht mehr", i.e. "Openoffice.org funktioniert nicht mehr" does not work any more with the only possibility to close the software) and the PDF-file is missing. When Openoffice is started the next time, a document recovery will pop up. Expected Result: A PDF/A-1a export of the document and OpenOffice continuing to run. Environment: Happens on a german Win7 64 bit with a OpenOffice.org 4.0.1. You can get the font (Liberation Sans) used in the document from https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ . Successless reproduction using: The following things work work flawlessly: - exporting the attached document to ordinary PDF (non "PDF/A-1a") documents - in general exporting documents to PDF/A-1a that contain text fields, - documents containing the font (Liberation Sans) Business justification: I need the PDF/A-1a export for this document is because it is my main invoice template and my accounting software (Gnuaccounting) integrates openoffice to create PDF/A-1a and then uses Apache PDFbox to "upgrade" to to PDF/A-3a which is then used as basis for Gnuaccounting's Zugferd export, which produces the file I sent to my customers and which works with all documents from which a PDF/A-1a can be exported.
Comment on attachment 83169 [details] Sample file which crashes OO.o in PDF/A export I suspect a duplicate of Issue 123409 - Images in background cause crash when saving to pdf/a In your sample the text frame "Rahmen2" wrap set to background (de: im Hintergrund). Could you try and change it to wrap through (de: Durchlauf) and try to export again. if it works it's a duplicate of Issue 123409 and is fixed in the next version of AOO
Hi, the other way around, it IS "Durchlauf" wrap through but when I change it to "Hinter" (in Background?) it works. Thanks!
due to the given feedback I am marking this issue as a duplicate. @jstaerk: The defect should be solved in AOO 4.1.0. You can verify it in the recent AOO 4.1.0 RC (release candidate) or in AOO 4.1.0 Beta *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 123409 ***
Apologies, correction wrap mode "Hinter" is not "in Background" but sth. like "behind" but there is a checkbox "in Background" and it also works when I keep the "Durchlauf" and I only uncheck the checkbox.
