It is good to see someone looking at this seriously now. After all, this bug is about 3 years old having migrated from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice in that time. It started originally as a question In Launchpad (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+question/82337) and I reported it as a bug only because the person who asked it was not particularly technically competent to do so.
The work round of exporting to PDF then attaching the report to an email, was discussed in the reply to that question, but the OP was trying to get a more automated routine for the office to use to send reports automatically via Outlook, and, yes, I did confirm some years back that this bug affects Windows as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433563 Title: [Upstream] Base Report "E-Mail as PDF" gives error instead of opening Evolution Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-base libreoffice-base: Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Base via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/433563/+attachment/2409961/+files/Test-A.odb && lobase -nologo Test-A.odb Reports -> secondary click TelNos -> Open -> File -> Send -> E-Mail as PDF... -> PDF options window -> Export button is Evolution opens with the report attached in PDF format.
