Description mdekkers 2002-10-02 07:45:16 UTC 
When exporting a file to PDF, the following error is  
presented:  
  
Error saving the document Untitled1:  
Wrong Parameter  
The operation was started uned an invalid parameter  
  
643 continues operating fine after this error.  
  
When the file is saved normally after this,  
attempting to export to PDF will crash 643 with an  
unrecoverable error.  
 
When attempting to export a saved file to PDF from a 
clean 643 start (i.e. open 643, type some text, save 
file, export 2 pdf), an unrecoverable error will 
occur. 
 
OS is SuSE 8.0, X 4.2.0, KDE 3.0.0

Hi Martijn,  
  
Yes this is now a known problem.  The issue here is that the files  
in the module "filter" were never properly installed by the setup  
program (since "scp" had no entries to register the pdf filter 
library).   
In addition officecfg's TypeDetection.xcu is missing the code to set  
up the pdf export filters (no pdf_writer_Export).  
  
This all happened as a mistake and thus this feature is not  
really available in 643 until we rectify this build issue and 
release a followup build or the next build.  
  
Please the mailing lists dev@openoffice.org and  
dev@porting.openoffice.org last night and today to see the details.  
 
BTW: I have ben able to hand edit the TypeDetection.xcu from a 
template posted to dev@openoffice.org and use "regcomp" to register 
the libpdffilter643l*.so file and then Exporting starts working 
perfectly. 
 
I will try to commit some fixes to the SRX643_OO tree soon once I 
find out about all of the other pieces in the "filter" module and 
what if anything needs to be done to turn them on as well. 
  
Kevin

Wouldn't OS an Platform be ALL on this bug.
Comment 9 brant 2002-11-16 01:46:54 UTC 
I am updating Platform/OS since this occurs for me on Windows XP.  I
am also sending this issue link to Bugtoaster for this crash signature.

I am having no problems with 643c.

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved
<wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for
details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
