Re: regarding 32 bit conversion to 64 bit for a mac

If you look at the list of system requirements at

Apple began transitioning to 64-bit hardware and software technology for Mac over a 
decade ago, and all modern Macs now include powerful 64-bit processors that can run 
advanced 64-bit apps. These apps can access dramatically more memory, enable faster 
system performance, and take advantage of technologies that define today's Mac

Did you try the exact same file with Apache OpenOffice 3? Maybe the file is
corrupted.
Is it important that you can do this in Apache OpenOffice? There are other
tools for it, such as wkhtmltopdf, which I've used a lot in the past, when
some companies sent me invoices or bills in html or mht format, which they
don't seem to do anymore, though.



Kind regards

A quick way to get a very simple fault report in OpenOffice on linux is to

In our side, OpenOffice is installed in Linux env.

You could try
startx > logfile  2>&1

To start your desktop. This will save all desktop messages in logfile, 
so you will have to look at the file after exiting the desktop and find 
the pertinent messages. X has a log for X messages, usually in

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

but that probably does not help you much for an app error. You could 
also try bringing up the app in a shell window. Sometimes that will 
display app error messages in the shell window.


You might also look at the OpenOffice command line arguments with
openoffice3 -h
There may be something there that you could use.

Good luck.

Re: WordPerfect Conversion

[zahra a]

because openoffice and libreoffice both are very close to each other
and are compatible with other formats which are used in different
programs, you dont have any problem using them.
meanwhile, if you open for example your word perfect document, you can
save as other formats like odt or microsoft formats, which one
exception.
openoffice can open both doc and docx format and read them but only
can save as doc, but libreoffice even can save them as docx.

You appear to be misinterpreting what is happening.
Your documents have not been "converted", they are still in their
original file format. Your operating system (Windows), for some? reason,
has changed the "association" of the default program to use to open that
original file format.

One possible reason for this change of file type association could be
that you have recently updated Apache OpenOffice and accepted the
offered installation option to associate MS files with this program.

If you want to return the default to the more limited features of
Wordpad, use Martin's suggestion: "To restore your default open your
Control Panel and select Default Programs".

RE: Conversion Problem

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

I confirm that the myfile.docx renders very differently between Microsoft 
Office Word 2016 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2.

The file is in an RTL script and there are Apache OpenOffice discrepancies with 
regard to page layout (such as on the first page) and with margin alignment and 
with table columns not switching to RTL.  There are also incorrect and missing 
image presentations.

I have created a PDF of how Microsoft Word renders the file, for use in 
comparison with Apache OpenOfice rendering and that of others.  It is too large 
to be accepted on this mailing list.

I will open a Bugzilla with the original .docx and the .pdf as attachments so 
that we all know what we're talking about.

Re: Re: Fwd: Conversion Problem

[Hagar Delest]

If you need professional use with OOXML, then stick to MS Office, else you'll 
lose much time trying to have the desired result with something else than MS 
Office. It will lead to frustration and possibly loss of image (I mean your 
credibility toward your customers).

The real challenge is the file format. Think ODF as the key to regain the 
property of your documents and your data. It is a true open standard, meant to 
avoid the vendor lock-in policy (like it used to be with .doc).

If you need to work in that format, stick to MS Office or accept the

as possible to the desired output.

There is more than that.  If you scroll down to the comparison charts it

What I see there is the following statement at the very beginning:



   If you don't have Microsoft Excel 2003 installed, try to use

   for example free OpenOffice.org (LibreOffice) Calc to open

   .wk4 file and save it as .xls files.



I don't know how to decode the two specific entries under Multiplatform 
software, including one specifically about "Apache OpenOffice Calc 
(OpenOffice.org Calc)."



I have made a comment on their page about this.  I suspect that these are very 
old entries - all of the images on the Apache OpenOffice entry there are from 
the old OpenOffice.org versions shipped by Sun Microsystems and Oracle.  As far 
as we can tell, .wk4 was never supported.

This is one of the areas where there are clear and distinct differences
between LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. Differences that most third
party sites neither know nor appreciate.

IIRC, WK4 support in LibreOffice is through a third party extension ---
one that doesn't work with Apache OpenOffice.

It is not in the Apache OpenOffice documentation - it is in the

There's no indication you have been.

Since the beginning of this year I am not able to convert an odt. or

the file as a pdf by title but when I click on that I get a message 
saying the file already exists and asks do I want to replace it. 
When I click 'yes' I get a message saying that there was a write 
error and the file could not be written.


OpenOffice has a strange option in both the Save As... and Export 
dialogue boxes. Near the bottom, you will see an "Automatic file name 
extension" tick box. Has this become unticked? If it has, you will be 
saving documents in the correct format, but the file names will not 
be getting the proper extension. So a text document will be called 
just "name" rather than "name.odt": you will have a valid file but 
without the correct extension. Like this, the documents will not open 
in the correct application when they are double-clicked, but they can 
be opened in other ways.


If you attempt to export such a file as PDF, the tick box will still 
be empty, so you will be trying to create a file named "name" instead 
of "name.pdf". But that means, of course, that you are saving the PDF 
copy over the original ODT document - also now called just "name". 
The error message you see is because the ODT version (albeit also 
without the appropriate extension) is locked by the fact that you 
have it open in OpenOffice.


All you need to do is to replace that tick in "Automatic file name 
extension". Once you have done this, it will stick - just as the absence did.


This occurred with Open Office 4.1.1 from early January 2016 and 
even after I converted to 4.1.2 late last week.


This setting will be saved in your OpenOffice user profile, and this 
is intentionally preserved across any upgrade in order to maintain 
your choices. So yes: it makes sense that upgrading will not have 
affected matters.


I trust this helps.

This message comes from Windows not from OpenOffice.
Either you have the file open in a PDF reader or there is a lock file.
Try to save in an other directory and see if the problem is solved.

RE: Multi-page tiff to PDF conversion

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

There is a form of single TIFF file that has multiple images, each for one
page, for a scanned document.  This is usually a TIFF/F holding all the
pages of a Fax transmission.

The question is how does AOO import one of those.

TENTATIVE RESPONSE:

Subra, this is probably not anything OpenOffice was designed for.  The
design point is to support import of graphical images in TIFF format, not
multi-page FAX documents.  You can see that in the OpenOffice 3.3 behavior.
You might look for TIFF utilities that will take apart one of those into
separate TIFF files or maybe into a Word document that you could then
process further in OpenOffice.

If you want a clear confirmation of support-or-not, either provide a
multi-page TIFF as an attachment on a Bugzilla issue or install the latest
version of Apache OpenOffice and satisfy yourself whether it works or not.
(Attachments don't work on mail to this list.)

Apache OpenOffice is probably not designed to do such tasks, but there are
other applications out there that are. If using the command line isn't a
problem, there is tiff2pdf.
Install it easily on the following operating systems as root.

Debian or Ubuntu:
apt-get install ghostscript libtiff-tools

CentOs or Red Hat:
yum install ghostscript libtiff

Fedora:
yum install ghostscript libtiff-tools

Convert input.tiff to output.pdf:
tiff2pdf -o output.pdf input.tiff

More information:
man tiff2pdf



Kind regards

Multi-page tiff to PDF conversion

Hi,

If Open Office supports Multi-page tiff to PDF conversion?
I just read some articles and it shows it was not supported.

Thanks,

I have just made a PDF file from an 83 slide Impress presentation, with 
assorted illustrations - JPEG, TIFF and PNG.  I have previously made multipage 
Writer files containing assortments of TIFF, PNG and JPEG files.

Re: Conversion from Word Perfect 12 to AAO Writer

[Vince B.]

Tnx Jan.  

I have a WP document that is a tabulation of data.  When saving as .doc format, 
then opening with AOO, it got messed up; loss of columns/row lines and blank 
pages.  Perhaps I need to rewrite that data in a database table using AOO Base, 
if this effort fails. 

Also, have documents that are letter-type, etc., but have not as yet tried to 
use MS Word (from MS Office 2003/2007) to AOO.  

I thought I would try LibreOffice, and did not want to make mistake of using an 
unusual download website. 

Regards, 
VinceB.

No problem, Vince.  My preference when I hit the problem was to stick 
with AOO since I was still 'learning' it and not have to get involved in 
yet another program.  Good luck!  Jan

Thanks on infor about Sudden? Conversion of a file to a read only file

Thanks to all who responded with advice about my problem below.  I 
managed to solve it by saving the blocked file to another computer 
(office computer from home computer) where the blocking came off and 
I was able to transfer it back to my original computer.

Many thanks again.

A file I have updating daily (quite long, about 340 pages) has 
inexplicably for reasons I cannot understand converted to a Read Only 
file.  I have tried to get around this by copy the file from another 
folder where did not convert to a Read Only to overwrite this 
file.  It stays Read Only.  I have erased it and copied from my other 
folder and it becomes a Read Only.

Any idea of what is going on and how can I stop this?
Thank you

 what happens if you open your console, cd to the directory it's in, and
 chmod the permissions? In case you are not familiar with the command
 line, let us assume that it is in your Documents directory, and it is
 called longfile.doc
 
 Open a console window (don't know how that's done in your distro).
 Then type:  (make sure the spaces are like I show)
 
 cd /home/yourusername/Documents
 ls -la longfile.doc (just to make sure it's there)
 chmod 664 longfile.doc
 
 Then you can do ls -la longfile.doc, and on the left side should read
 -rw-rw-r--
 That means that user (you), and your group, can read and write to it,
 and the whole world can read it.
 
 If, when you try to run the command you get not permitted, you will
 have to su to root first, or use sudo, if your distro is set up that way.
 (sudo chmod 664 longfile.doc
 [enter your password] )

At system level, with OpenOffice closed, enable viewing of hidden and system 
files for your computer. You will find a hidden file with a name like 
.~lock.YourFileName.odt#
in  the file directory. Delete this file and all should be well.

Note that this file is typically a few hundred bytes in size, whereas the 
actual file thhat owns ir will be a minimum of about 6-7 KBytes in size (in 
your case I would expect much larger). If you are in doubt, please get a 
computer experienced person  to assist.

Note that the instructions given in another reply to this query (by 
dmcgarr...@optonline.net) are correct for linux, but you are using Windowswhere 
they won't work.

Such lock files can be left over after a program or system crash, or sometimes 
after too speedy a close down of the computer.

Back to the original topic (but thanks for the useful info about

copying-and-pasting text from any (text) PDF and OpenOffice 
works pretty well on a Mac.


Not sure if this would apply to all platforms, but it's by far 
the easiest way I have found on my Mac. I might have to reapply 
some formatting for complex files, but all the text gets copied

RE: PDF-to-ODT conversion

[Think]

I downloaded from freeocr.net and also got other software with the OCR
program. It was an accept/decline statement and the first one got past me,
but I saw the others and declined. So when my daughter went to use my
browser to find a recipe for me she said there's a weird browser on your
computer. This happened with dealslider a week ago when I downloaded a free
font browser.

Unfortunately, this one issue is one of the biggest issues for people
utilizing free and open source software -- it is not verified to not have
malware, etc. attached to it.

I am in the process of specifying open source software for a non profit
company I am building, and am swimming the waters myself to see what
problems are inherent in open source. It seems that this one is huge and
relatively insurmountable unless someone wants to start a foundation to cull
the software for cleanliness.

Also, many people such as myself trust CNET. Obviously that trust is
misplaced. So if not CNET, then whom?

 but I saw the others and declined. So when my daughter went to use my
 browser to find a recipe for me she said there's a weird browser on your
 computer. This happened with dealslider a week ago when I downloaded a free
 font browser.
 
 Unfortunately, this one issue is one of the biggest issues for people
 utilizing free and open source software -- it is not verified to not have
 malware, etc. attached to it.
 
 I am in the process of specifying open source software for a non profit
 company I am building, and am swimming the waters myself to see what
 problems are inherent in open source. It seems that this one is huge and
 relatively insurmountable unless someone wants to start a foundation to cull
 the software for cleanliness.
 
 Also, many people such as myself trust CNET. Obviously that trust is
 misplaced. So if not CNET, then whom?

For openoffice we only recommend 
www.openoffice.org/download

For all other applications I always recommend using the main project site; if I 
have to recommend a particular site, it is always one I have used myself and 
know to be clean.

https://drive.google.com/

Then I select convert and down load, choose the type of file wanted, then

 This free OCR software uses the Tesseract OCR engine. Tesseract OCR

 with Google. It is thought of as one of the most accurate open source 
 OCR engines available. Works very well for me both for PDFs and images.

Hmmm.  McAfee's Stinger32 anti-malware pgm said that it was the FreeOCR.exe
ITSELF that was the sort of all the grief.  I took Stinger's word for it,
and let Stinger delete the offending exe file.

Looks like my original inquire created quite a stir.  Sorry to have taken so

For minor edits OpenOffice's PDF import extension will allow it be edited in 
Draw. For major edits (such as relayout or rewrite of the text) you need to use 
an OCR utility to read the text in the PDF then import the text from the OCR 
into OpenOffice.

There seem to be [at least] two types of PDF files.

One are essentially scanned images.

The others are formatted text files that can be converted to .doc or .txt by 
either Adobe [full pop; not the free adobe reader] or a number of websites that 
do free file conversions.  If you can copy and paste from the PDF, you are most 
ways there on your own.

There are web sites that purport to convert scanned images to text files, but 
they seem to be finicky on the scanned image; I've not had good luck with these.

Rory,

There is a fundamental misconception here. A PDF is NOT a bitmap. A PDF,
more often than not, contains the TEXT inside, not a picture (bitmap) of
the page requiring OCR to extact the text.

That is on PROPERLY CREATED PDF files. I've seen lots of people who don't
know what they're doing that just scan pages and build a PDF. In those
instances, YES, the PDF doesn't contain searchable text, just bitmaps
(images) of every page. But that's not a properly created PDF file to begin
with.

I originally downloaded Open Office to be able to open documents originated in

When I downloaded an update, I mistakenly checked off documents and

been converted to Open Office documents.
Since I did not want this automatic conversion, I downloaded another update and 
did not check off the conversions. I got my spreadsheets back in the Excel

corrupted.
This is not acceptable!

Re: Fw: Document Conversion

[Martin Groenescheij]

OpenOffice does not convert documents when you install the software.
Documents are converted when you open it in Calc or Writer, when you 
close the documents OpenOffice is so kind to ask you if you want to save 
it in the original format or in ods or odt format.
I guess that you have selected an option to associate xls and doc 
formats to OpenOffice, all that this does is set the default programs to 
OpenOffice.

You can correct this in the Control panel (assuming you use Windows).

Probably not. Anything created by MS Works has to be converted to 
either a MS Office program or to AOO.
The first thing to do is to save the database file as a CSV (comma 
separated version) format. Then you can use Base to connect to the CSV file.
