Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54930
Scanned/Exif JPG inserted from Word is corrupted in OOo

Note: I don't have MS Word, so I'm having a friend help me by producing Word documents with Word. OOo seems corrupting images inserted in Word documents with Word, when they come from a certain type of JPEG. The features of these images are: * They come from a scanner (though this shouldn't make a difference). * They use Exif. Other Word users reported no problems with this. I originally saw this bug in the 1.1.3 version on Windows. Although I'm marking 1.1.3 (current Debian testing version), I also found the same problem in 1.1.4. I haven't tried 2.0, though. A sample image and a Word document that embeds the image will follow.
Created attachment 29789 [details] Sample Exif JPEG image
Created attachment 29790 [details] Word document with TestRGB.jpg inserted (created in Word)
I opened TestPage000.doc in OOo 1.9.125 on FC4, and the image looks fine. Firefox wouldn't open the JPEG, but GIMP and Nautilus did.
Yes, I could also see the problem in OO 1.1.x, but it is fixed in OO 2.0.
Closed.
