Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21947
PDF export into *.pdb produces unreadable text
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Russian text, saved as Artistic Text *.pdb in OO 1.1 is impossible to be read in Palm. Palm OS 4.0. Palm is capable of reading Russian texts itself. They say, OO produces UTF codepage text at Palm export instead of correct one.
JA->Martin: could you please have a look at this ? Reassigned to you. Does pdb support iso8859-2 locales ? As far as I read the pdb file format spec they just support iso8859-1...
Palm Zire with Cyrillic support installed understands Cyrillic texts produced by PDAConverter. And it refuses to understand the text produced by OO (at least 680 M17).

Hi everybody, I can confirm this, something is wrong here. PDFs created by OOo 1.1 can be rad by Acrobat Reader 6 on Win98/XP, but when I try to convert them for Palm using Adobe Reader for Palm 3, it says "error, bad page contents". It is rare, because on the PC I can read the PDF, just not on the PALM... I am not a programmer, so I do not know what to do. Any good news, let me know. Good luck, Samy
@samykovac: probably duplicate of issue 22452 - please try to focus on one problem and open seperate issues for each single problem...
MM: Will not be fixed for OO 2.0
mmaher->flr: Yours I think
