LibreOffice *does* have support for .docx, there's no false advertisement here. Although this support is not complete, this just means some features won't be imported/recognized. It should definitely *not* crash. You probably hit some bug. Does it happen only with that docx? Or converting other pdf also generates a .docx that crashes LibO? To find out exactly what's happening, it'd be useful to have access to a sample .docx file that crashes LibO. I confirm this one opens fine in 3.3.3, does it crash there?: http://tinyurl.com/libo-docx-sample Also, is this the conversion service you used? https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/convert-pdf-to-word.html Sadly it is paid, so I can't even generate a docx just to test. -- Nuno J.
