Description christianjunker 2005-06-25 12:31:25 UTC 
On a Linux system (Suse with KDE 3.3/3.4) pdf files generated (exported) from
OpenOffice are not correctly shown in kpdf, OOo 1.1.4 is used.
The weird thing here is that kpdf does show pdf files generated from other
programs in the normal way (as Adobe does), so it doesn't seem to be a bug in
kpdf. Thus could this possibly be a bug of our pdf export feature? Feedback please.

1st of all: what does "not show correctly" mean. Issue reports without clear
description are not very helpful.

Please attach sample document & screenshot.

Most likely this is not a bug in OOo and not a bug in kpdf. It probably is a bug
in ghostscript that in turn is used by kpdf to display the pdf.

And your conclusion "it shows other files ad Acrobat does thus it is not the
fault  of kpdf" is not valid either.

If Adobe Acrobat Reader can show the PDF correctly and kpdf doesn't - what does
this tell you? 

Every dachhund is a dog, but this doesn't make every dog a dachshund.

cloph: No files attached and no better description given because this was told
to me by a user on Linuxtag in Karlsruhe and he didn't give me any further details.
I thought to have it posted is better than doing nothing about it. Hopefully I
will have some time investigating this further, if others want to do so, please
do and test it.

There was no such conclusion, as you can see when reading my report again.

Experience shows that those told-by-third-person-issues lead to nothing, I'll
close this one. 
Feel free to reopen if you can give more information.

I read it again:
"The weird thing here is that kpdf does show pdf files generated from other
programs in the normal way (as Adobe does), so it doesn't seem to be a bug in
kpdf."

* shows other files as does Adobe
* doesn't seem to be a bug in kpdf

How does this differ from my statement?

Anyway: closing for now.

closing for now. 
Without information there's nothing to do for us.

Reopen if you can provide testcase & detailed description of the error.
