You are welcome to send this to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. - Marking LibreOffice Packaging and libreoffice (Ubuntu) => Won't Fix Wishlist. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice.
Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - Cannot embed a file as an ole object + Inserting PDF as OLE Object shows it as frame instead of clickable icon ** Description changed: - When I try to embed a pdf file, as an embedded document in libreoffice - writer, it tries to import the pdf file as a text file, instead of just - displaying a pdf icon that I can click to open. + Expected behaviour : When one inserts a pdf file as an OLE Object an + icon representing your document should be inserted. Clicking on the icon + should open the document using the appropriate program. - To reproduce the bug, - 1- start libreoffice writer 3 - 2- select from the menu "Insert>Object>OLE Object..." - 3- select the "Create from file" radio button - 4- click the "Search..." button - 5- select any pdf or other non plaintext, non libreoffice compatible, or binary document - 6- click the "OK" button + Observed behaviour : The file is inserted as an OLE Object frame as per + http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Insert_OLE_Object . - Expected behaviour : an icon representing your document should be - inserted. Clicking on the icon should open the document using the - appropriate program. + This has existed since openoffice. - Observed behaviour : an "ASCII Filter Options" dialog is displayed. - Clicking OK in that dialog will insert a frame containing the text from - the pdf file (as if you just cat the pdf file). - - I am using Ubuntu linux v12.04 and libreoffice v3.5.4.2, but I think the bug has always existed, as I had the same problem before with openoffice. - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) Package: libreoffice 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-29.46-generic 3.2.24 Tags: precise running-unity Uname: Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-30 (99 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- 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/1034370 Title: Inserting PDF as OLE Object shows it as frame instead of clickable icon Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Expected behaviour : When one inserts a pdf file as an OLE Object an icon representing your document should be inserted.
