Bug #: 45065
Summary: Problem with EDITING of technical pdfs
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Drawing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

original and modified pdfs (original created by UCSC genome browser)
Libreoffice Draw would be extremely useful for scientific illustrations and
journal articles where it is common to make minor hand--edits to complex vector
drawings produced by other software as pdf: it has the required functionality
but unfortunately basic bugs in pdf importing prevent its use for this.
I attach a real-world example technical pdf produced by the UCSC genome browser
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway). The attached file
"draw_bug_test_original.pdf" is an original complex pdf as produced by the UCSC
genome browser. "draw_bug_test_after_draw.pdf" shows the same file after
reading into libreoffice draw (LibreOffice 3.4.5
OOO340m1 (Build:502) using File|open|portable document format (Draw) ).
"draw_bug_test_after_draw.pdf" shows the pdf as it looks inside Draw
(file|export as PDF) (note the problem is the importing of the pdf-- the errors
noted below occur while editing in Draw and not just on export to pdf).
You can see that several horizontal lines incorrectly are too long and start at
the left edge of the figure; the fine vertical lines are too thick; and the
colours are wrong in places-- blue instead of grey and light blue instead of
dark blue.
If these basic pdf bugs were fixed then Draw would be a great tool for
scientific document preparation, and I believe would find widespread usage
there as only basic pdf editing is required.
