Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9535
save as html produces bad gifs of equations, inserted speadsheet objects, inserted graphics okay
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
A simple document containing a simple equation can be found at the referenced URL. When one chooses to save this document as a web page the text is created properly but the gif images creates are corrupt. Ideally png files would be created but it would also be reasonable to fix the gif outputting stuff. I'm using the debian openoffice packages 1.0.1-5+woody.2
Created attachment 3758 [details] reference document creating bad gifs
Brad, I saved the attached file as html, and although the quality of the gif is low, it's not corrupt. Can you attach an example of the corrupt gif that is created from the same document on your system? Thanks, -- Liz.
Created attachment 3863 [details] this is the corrupt gif created by the "save as web page" of the attached sxw file
-----------email from brad---------- I'm not sure of the protocol here (ie do i need to send you mail as well as update the bug)... in any case - i've attached the corrupt gif to the bug as you requested. I was a bit nervous that maybe i'd screwed something up but it's still a corrupt gif. Maybe it's a build problem on linux... thanks for spending your time working on openoffice! brad -------------------------------- Hi Brad, I looked at the attachment, and confirm it does not display correctly. LZW compression for GIFs may have been left out of the Debian OO.org binary and source due to patent issues. Reference the debian-legal mailing list here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200210/msg00259.html I'll find out more and post back here. It's preferred to post here, so it's logged in the database -- I get an email copy when you do. Thanks, --Liz
Confirmed this is not an issue in OpenOffice.org. The feature was removed by Debian packagers. From the changelog: openoffice.org (1.0.1-5) unstable; urgency=low <snip> * Remove non-free LZW compression code: Save to html no longer works if there are graphics in the document. <snip> -- Chris Halls <chris.halls@gmx.de> Tue, 13 Aug 2002 15:23:13 +0200
Hi, I've only just realised this issue was here. Issue 4950 is open and describes the problem that needs to be solved before we can get this fixed in Debian. Chris
