Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26239
Floating Frame doesn't print
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I can not get any object in a floating frame to print. Click on Insert, Floating Frame, enter a Name and input file name in Contents. Object will appear in document, but will not print with the rest of document. I have tried inserting Calc files, JPEGs, and others and the end result is the same. The print option is checked when you check the Object - Options properties. Searching the mailing list, I found several people had the same problem, but they did not get a response from the list. Could be I am missing something, but it seems to be a bug to me.
confirming with 1.1.1rc1 official linux build. When viewing document by "File -> Page Preview" a link-symbol subtitled "Floating Frame" is shown. Export to PDF is also incorrect.

Would love to help you fix this, but I know just enough about programming to be dangerous ;- ) Looking in to taking some courses though.

I have retested for this issue on both 2.4 and 3beta, on both Windows XP and Suse 10.3. The problem is still there, both when printing to a printer and to a pdf file. Pdf sample file uploaded.

Floating Frame content can't be printed. Honestly, it's a stupid left-over from the olden StarOffice Browser times. I rather would remove the feature than rework it. If you want to insert OOo documents into other OOo documents, please use OLE objects.
