--- Comment #16 from Wade D. Peterson <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 101749 [details] Document example in pdf format (does not exhibit problem) I just wanted to confirm that I have had a problem similar to that reported by Matthias for some years. That is, when saving documents in pdf format the illustrations are sometimes lost. This problem has occurred on earlier versions of OpenOffice, as well as my current version of LibreOffice 4.1.6.2 (stable) running under Windows 8. This problem has been intermittent and is not reproducible. It seems to occur on large files with many illustrations. To show an example of the type of files where the problem occurred in the past, I've attached an example of a pdf file that correctly formatted under OpenOffice (WbBridge_28MAR2012.pdf). This file was made about two years ago and formatted correctly, but the same problem would occasionally occur. I was able to format this file correctly only after I manually paged through the entire document. Once I had briefly inspected every page, I was able to successfully save it as a pdf. [My intuition is that some type of caching operation was going on in the background while I did this]. This problem seems to be related to another problem where saving the document erases all of the illustrations. For example, my current project is several hundred pages long with 132 illustrations. The normal file size is about 2,747 Kb, but sometimes it wipes out all of the illustrations when I save it. It did it yesterday using LibreOffice 4.1.6.2, and the resulting file size was cut down to 318 Kb. Sorry, I can't publicly share this document until I deposit it at the Copyright Office. Most of my illustrations are done with LibreOffice Draw. I copy them from the Draw application and past them into the Write application using 'Edit' -> 'Paste Special' -> 'GDI Metafile'. I change the file names every day by modifying the date at the end of the file name (I do this for legal reasons as a record of invention). This supports the thread above where the problem seems to happen when it is saved as a new file. Under my technique, I save it as a new file everyday. However, I have seen similar activity when I do a 'copy and paste' under the Windows file system, and then change the file name. After opening the new file for the first time it seems to do the same thing sometimes. This is going to be a tough bug to fix as it seems to happen only on big files and is intermittent.
