Hi Avraham, Thank you for the detailed information.

Here's a more detailed version of the symptoms. 1. The problem is in Windows XP, after a clean installation. 2. Writer works fine. As far as I can see, all the normal functions work. 3. When I try to save as PDF, either via the toolbar icon or via the save as option, Writer goes through the motions and "saves" a PDF file. 4. When I open the saved PDF file, it is a clean sheet, empty. There is a PDF file, with the name of the original Writer file, but with no content. 5. As noted, this has happened several times over the years, and the only way to correct it has been a complete removal of OOo and re-installation. This last time, even this did not work. 6. I went to Ubuntu (dual boot), opened the Writer file and saved it as PDF.
In the step 4, in what size is the empty sheet? File - Properties menu of Adobe Reader would show you it in the tab "Description." Does the width of the sheet equal to the height of that? Is the size of sheet in the PDF file same as that of page size in the Writer? In the step 5, which do you mean? a) Once the OpenOffice.org has started behaving problematically, the symptom occurs all the time with any documents. b) Even though the symptom can be observed several times over the years, the problem sometimes does not happen; sometimes happens. Could you tell us a precious version number of the OpenOffice.org or its variants? To identify it, 1. Help - About OpenOffice.org 2. Sequentially press S D T keys with holding a Ctrl key in the dialog "About OpenOffice.org" 3. Memorize a text like "[310m11(Build:9399)]" which will be shown in the step 2. 4. Press a ESC key to close the dialog. The text seems to come from one of the configuration files in the source tree. E.g. http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/OpenOffice_3_1_0/solenv/inc/minor.mk http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/OOO310_m1/solenv/inc/minor.mk http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/solenv/inc/minor.mk Regards, Tora --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
