Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 95775
WW8: C++ error while exporting 96 MB odt having large graphics
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:35 UTC
While using OpenOffice, I managed to successfully make a 30-page .ODT document. However, I needed this document somewhere else - but that place does not have OpenOffice, it has Microstoft Office. While converting to a Windows XP .DOC document, the program stalled in about 10% of the progress bar (Exporting). Then it displayed a popup message that the "C++ Runtime had been requested to terminate this application in a unusual way". After pressing the OK button, OpenOffice took some time to close. There was a Recovery period on the next time I used OpenOffice, but it only had the .ODT file, which is no good. I repeated the process several times, with the same result. I also repeated it with the minimum amout of other applications running - same result. If you manage to resolve this problem, can you send me the .DOC file by e-mail? Thanks. P.S. Request for the .ODT file will be answered ASAP - please leave a receiving e-mail address. (I can't work out how to attach to this issue).
Sorry - the file is 96 MB big.
A 30 page document of 96 MB? Sounds as if there are a lot of grapahics in it... does the crash also happen without graphics in the document?
Yes, it has multiple graphics, typefonts and a few tables. When I deleted all the graphics and typefonts, the size changed to 7.66MB XD It has no problem saving & exporting that document to .DOC format - it finsihed in 10 seconds. When I went on Microsoft Office and OpenOffice and copied everthing over, Microsoft Office ignored all the pictures and typefonts - I wasn't expecting perfection anyway. I think the problem is in the size (wonder how I reached that conclusion?) But deleting the pictures and typefonts is no good, it would take me quite a while to add them all to Microsoft Word at the right size and place. Carry on suggesting - that's what I started moaning for anyway. :)
Do you have the possibility to place th 96 MB file on an ftp server?
Not really, but I could put it on a server like megaupload.com By the way, I exported it to a .pdf and it was fine. (.doc not now needed)0
Yes, this could be a solution; a site like megaupload should give us the possibility to exchange the file. Please post the URL here when you have done so; thanks a lot!
Here's the link, sorry for the waits: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=34RJZNDB
@MRU: confirmed with m9 on XP. The document is a memory "torture" anyway. ;) I guess the images are uncompressed HiRez but OOo shouldn't necessarily crash while exporting...
Okay, uncompressed high-resolution pictures are a no-no for OpenOffice... So, is there any fixes to be done on your end or do I just change the resolution of the pictures next time?
MRU->HBRINKM: the document is in my issue doc folder. I just managed to truncate it to half size. Smaller ones did not lead to this runtime error, so it seems to be a memory management problem during export.
