The result was that Libre office crashed in the process of saving the file in the new format.The program tried to restore the file (it was a success) and I've tried to save it again with the same result - Libre office crashing on savingthe file. Than I've tried to define different options for the file in *.pdf format before saving it but again the result was that the program crashed during the save/convert process. Afters that I've saved the file like *.odf and again the result was the same.

I am in no position to tell a judge that he is using the wrong format and needs to install a plug-in on his county-owned and -maintained computer--which he may not even have the authority, let alone the know-how, to do--so that he can read the files I send him. If LibO stops supporting MS Office files, I will have no choice and will be forced to discontinue using LibO. I suspect the same is true of people who work in a more corporate setting, as opposed to a judicial one. This is also valid in an academic setting.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF
Hi :) Your English was fine. Lol. We don't normally Save As ... to pdf. Have you tried File - Export as Pdf Make sure the top option PDF/A-1a is UNticked as that has caused a few problems. By default it is usually unticked anyway so that should be fine. It shouldn't be crashing. If you are forced into using 3.3.4 then that should be fine because both the 3.3.x and 3.4.x series/branches are being developed alongside each other. It is worth posting a bug-report against the 3.4.x tho because it really should be working fine Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 14/9/11, Илиан Иванов hellion...@gmail.com wrote: From: Илиан Иванов hellion...@gmail.com Subject: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Wednesday, 14 September, 2011, 8:58 -- Forwarded message -- From: Илиан Иванов hellion...@gmail.com Date: 2011/9/14 Subject: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF To: us...@libreoffice.org Hi there, I don't know is this the right place to send this but ...

It all started well, but we've hit a wall with digital signing. As I understand, the document must be in OpenDocument format for the signing to work. The problem is that we will not be able to use the LibreOffice native format in the near future and we are stuck with the MS formats for which the signing doesn't work. Firstly, I shall assume your organisation has legal installations of m$. Correct me if wrong, but there may be a legal implication as a result of using digital signatures, so why would you want to use LO generate a digital signature for a proprietary format not owned by LO? This may be a legal problem for LO assuming a digital signature is supposed to authenticate the user, content and the software used to create that content and so it is entirely appropriate for LO to provide digital signatures only for the native odf. Are you really stuck or just unwilling to explain to your clients that you are using LO and the benefits derived from using LO? Of course, the main benefit is supposed to be the advantages of odf... Is there any way around this? Or maybe I should post this as a feature request? Well, m$ users will vote for this because of the short-term convenience, but it would be a very bad consequence for LO. See previous posts for the reasons. You need to perform a cost benefit analysis for your use of LO; otherwise, revert to m$. Maybe the company wants to have some way to make sure that their document show that they come from their office, and not someone doing some creative editing and claiming that it came from them. Digital Signing is not just for MS to determine if you have a legal copy of their products. There are digital sigs for emails and web sites. I have received some documents that must have a digital sig or it is not legal. How many businesses really would risk problems with pirated copies of Office or XP/Vista/Win7? Most would not. To be honest, if LibreOffice is to be a replacement in the business offices, it must be able to handle the file formats, digital sigs, and any other thing that a normal user [not power user] would use MS Office for. That is the market LO was designed for. If LO does not do these things, then business users will not be able to switch over to LO and still be able to do their normal office work and/or support their clients that do use them. If people see that LO does everything they do now with MSO [including the file formats] AND it is free to get and upgrade, then there is not reason to keep using MSO. If they have clients that use .docx and .xltx files and LO did not support them, then these businesses would not be able to switch to LO and keep their clients happy. And NO, do not ask [or require] the clients to switch to LO, like one thread stated we should do. You could easily loose those clients for asking. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

The older MS format, ppt, should open fine in Impress and hopefully you can then save in the newer odp format. You can probably do that straight from a command-line without even opening the presentations so you could get through a LOT of presentations very fast at that point.

I am in no position to tell a judge that he is using the wrong format and needs to install a plug-in on his county-owned and -maintained computer--which he may not even have the authority, let alone the know-how, to do--so that he can read the files I send him. If LibO stops supporting MS Office files, I will have no choice and will be forced to discontinue using LibO. I suspect the same is true of people who work in a more corporate setting, as opposed to a judicial one. This is also valid in an academic setting. My experience with Open Office while in university: the professors made available Word documents. If your computer could not read it, then use the computer in the library to print it. End of story. DO NOT worry. LibreOffice will not stop using Word formats for loading and saving. LibreOffice wants to be your MSO alternative. If it does not support MSO formats, then it cannot be, thus it should not happen. Actually, every new 3.4.x update reads/writes the newest MSO formats better than the previous one [as far as I can tell and heard from others]. I do not like the idea of people wanting LO to dump its main compatibility feature that is needed if we want LO to gain market share as a replacement to MSO in businesses and governments. MSO file formats are the business standard. LO will support that standard. I would like to see ODF become the standard, now that is the ISO for office file formats. MSO formats will still be used by businesses even if ODF takes over, so at that point LO will still need to support MSO formats. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF
This is probably an incoming document with a format code of some type not acceptable to LibreOffice. I don't think that all codes not used by LibreOffice are stripped on opening a document. Not unwise if you wish for it to look the same from the original program. There error maybe somewhere in the crossover of a format code that is used in one way by Libre that creates a malformed program function and cannot complete. CTLA your document, right click and Clear direct formatting the entire document 1st, and generate a PDF to be sure this fixes the problem. If so, Clear individual paragraphs until the failure goes away and report the code as added in the original program and send a copy of the original paragraph and it's repaired version to support. If this doesn't provide evidence of failure, it may be pagination or some other type of code. This assumes Libre is operating correctly and with integrity to clearing all functions. I am not a programmer or support person for Libre and this is just how I'd look at the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path
Hi :) I think it might be best to file a bug-report with Arch or Arch's tweaked LibreOffice. The .libreoffice is a standard across 'all' GNuLinux distros. I think for most distros that means the path is /home/username/.libreoffice.org/3/user/ Arch seems to add an extra folder and then tweaks most apps/packages to drop their . that makes the folder a hidden folder. I don't know why they don't do that for LibreOffice so the folder ends up being /home/username/.config/.libreoffice.org/3/user/ I really like they extra depth in Arch because both my /home and /home/username folders tend to get filled with tons of stuff that i have no idea about what it all does so it's trickier to find things i do want to access. So i think it would be awkward for TDF to maintain 2 versions of LibreOffice, one for all the other distros and another for Arch family. I think the easiest place to do this would be in Arch somewhere. I don't know tho. What do you think would be best?

Hi :) Hmm, i just thought. maybe this guide might help you change the path on your machine http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Just miss out the bits where it installs another version of LibreOffice! Something else i liked about the Arch install was the inclusion of OpenJdk6 and mozilla-common. IOpenJdk7 has only come out in the last few days so it's a bit too recent to use. You might not need the java runtime at all. I have started unticking it on the various works machines to help LO start-up faster and had no problems so far. It's good to have the OpenSource version available as a fall-back in case you do need java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle. I think for most distros the package/add-on to allow documents to open in a web-browser is called mozilla-libreoffice and we would never guess it's different in Arch so it's good to have that included as standard. Both very small packages and including them neatly side-steps a range of potential troubles :) The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden. It doesn't really make all that much difference except that you have to remember it when typing out the pathname of course.

I find no option to 'Save As' PDF. Do you actually mean: File|Export as PDF? Afters that I've saved the file like *.odf and again the result was the same. Than I've downloaded a program for converting files to *.pdf called universal document converter (udc.exe) and after installing it Libre office has stopped to crash on saving documents in *.pdf format. after the final release of Libre office 3.4.3 I've uninstalled the UDC program and again the result was that Libre Office crashed during saving the same file in *.pdf format.

[libreoffice-users] .Doc security risk in MS Office (and .Rtf)

Apparently a slightly modified version of the exploit they suffered from last year can cause them problems again but there is a security patch for it in the normal MS Office updates and this time it is promised that it will really work, unlike the one from last year which they also promised would fix it. Quite why you would have DLL files in the same folder as a word-processor document or spreadsheet is a bit beyond me. I am a bit disorganised at times but i don't think i ever managed it and it's not the default! (unless you count the desktop or downloads folder where almost anything could be dumped).

RE: [libreoffice-users] .Doc security risk in MS Office (and .Rtf)
This vulnerability is about a side-loading exploit that will cause a malicious DLL be used instead of a standard one. That there is an avenue to a side-loading vulnerability by placing certain documents in the same place as the DLL is an additional door being closed. Any Windows program with an Open ... dialog could be subject to this attack if the search for DLLs is not restricted. I have no insight on how LibreOffice does DLL searches and whether it had to be repaired since this became a concern one year ago. You'd have to check the CVE lists for whether anything like that had to be fixed in LibreOffice, and when.

[libreoffice-users] Draw crashes on opening PDF on samba share.
Hi. When I got my mac I liked that I could annotate PDF's in preview. Now I want to sign (ad signature to) them and I find I can open them in Draw. This is great as the import and manipulation seems a little publicised feature that works really well (although it is a bit slow with 25000 elements). I also have been adding diagrams in vector from pdfs to writer docs though the long process of pdfkarbonepswriter. Now I can just go pdfdrawwriter. I have found if I open a pdf in Draw on a samba share I get an instant crash. I can copy the pdf local and it opens. I can copy a pdf that opens local to the samba folder and Draw crashes on opening. I can save docs (.odg, calc, odt) to the share ok. I can export to PDF to the share OK. I can copy an .odg file to the share and it opens ok. It is only opening the PDF from the share that Draw crashes. 3.3.4 on Linux.
