Title:
Document Viewer has no support for common office document file formats
Status in Evince:
Expired
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
Working on creating some new checkbox tests and I've discovered that
evince, at least as shipped in 10.04 LTS has no support for MS Office
formats. I've tried the .xls and .doc files that are shipped in
/usr/share/example-content.
In both cases, evince opens with an error that says:
File type OLE2 compound document storage (application/x-ole-storage)
is not supported.
For kicks, I then tried .odt files and got this error:
File type OpenDocument Text (application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text)
is not supported.
Nor does it support .rtf documents:
File type RTF document (application/rtf) is not supported.
Nor does it like ods documents:
File type OpenDocument Spreadsheet
(application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet) is not supported
It DOES open odp documents. at least...
I did not have a pdf file on hand to try...
BUT, in any case, it does not seem to support ANYTHING right now
beyond Open Office Presentation files...
