Bug #: 42092
Summary: EXPORT PDF with SVG becomes BITMAP
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO Master
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: PDF export
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Perhaps this is not an error, but it should not be the default behavior.
When an SVG picture is exported with the default PDF settings then the
resulting PDF file converts the SVG to BITMAP or Raster graphics. The BITMAP
PDF file size is 123KB (see "PDF_lossless.pdf").
When an SVG picture is exported with the A-1a PDF settings then the resulting
PDF file maintains the SVG as scalable graphics. However, the A-1a PDF file
size is 475KB (see "PDF_A-1a.pdf"); much too big for a "basic" scalable PDF
file. Of course, a PDF file with A-1a information is useful when desired.
Shouldn't the default behavior of an EXPORT to PDF maintain the scalable
pictures and have a reduced file size? Of course, when desired the ability to
EXPORT a PDF with scalable pictures to raster images is also useful, but we
believe that it should not be the default behavior.
As an example, we tested the desired functionality in the Master:
LibO-dev 3.5.0
Build ID: 1af9425-947bf60-9c6ea62-e1a2fb3
On OSX 10.6.8
Located at:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/MacOSX_10.6.7_Intel_no-moz/master/2011-10-21_07.55.40/
with
master~2011-10-21_07.55.40_LibO-Dev_OOO350m1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a Web browser or Graphic Editor to find and save an SVG picture.
2. Open a new WRITER Text Document
3. Select Insert -> Picture -> From File... (We inserted
organick_Chemistry_set.svg)
4. Select File -> Export as PDF....
5. Keep the default settings then click Export (see the "3 Export as
PDF_lossless.png").
Expected results: SVG image will remain scalable within WRITER, DRAW, etc.
Actual results: SVG image is NOT scalable.
See attachment for sample documents and screenshots (including the scalable
Export to PDF as A-1a and export warning).
Also check the same "problems" with the "blue_folder_1067B.svg" file.
Thank you.
