Tom,
Once I understand better where the issue is coming from, it will be
reasonable to ask them look at the code for the
possible bug. But I am not certain where the issue is coming from yet.
For manipulating the PNG and SVG to PDF, that was a nice tip, but it
seems not quite meeting what I need. The initial
reason for this posting was to find out whether the LibreOffice with
'pdfimport' extension allows to edit the PDF file
or not. This rendering issue, however, is blocking the path.
I need to think about the alternatives. THANK YOU MUCH.
Best regards,
Pae

Hi :)
I have a feeling that it's worth posting a bug-report or 2 about this issue. I
would post one here. This guide might help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
but i think the problem might be with the way the pdfs are generated in
MuseScore so i would post a bug-report with them too.
http://musescore.org/node/77
Both guides suggest posting a question in the relevant forum first. If you
could give us a link to the question you asked in their forum that might help.
Also they might find it useful to have a link to this thread in the question
there. I would copy the Nabble link to them
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fw-Re-libreoffice-users-PDF-Import-LibreOffice-extension-for-importing-PDF-documents-pdfimport-td3503557.html
Likewise when you post a bug-report there and here it's good to give links so that people working in one project can easily have a look at what their counter-parts are doing in the other project.
Hmm, just a thought but once you have an svg or png you could open a new Draw document and drop the picture into it and then export that as Pdf. When i do that i find the picture is not the same size as the A4 page so i use the "handles" at the corners of the picture to stretch it to fill (or almost fill) the page. My printer always gives a 5mm blank area around the edges of pages so i don't always make the picture fully fit the page unless i want the edges trimmed off.
Don't worry about the ettiquette issue. All forums and mailing lists have
their own quirks and we often only find what they are by trial-and-error. You
are not the first and unlikely to be the last person that falls into that one.
Actually i think that particular quirk is shared by quite a lot of forums and
mailing-lists so it's a good one to learn about early on. Still a lot of
people forget. It wasn't a lot of extra work for me to fix. I think 3 clicks
and a drag instead of 1 [shrugs]. I've known worse! ;)
Sorry such a long post!
Regards from
Tom :)

MAS and Tom,
Thank you for the prompt replies. Tom, My apologies for inappropriately
creating a new thread by using "Reply" method which caused the
inconvenience as well as extra toil. And addition thanks for the effort
and educating me.
The SVG and PNG are fine for me, but the PDF is a part of the
requirements (which are out of my control) I am working on at present.
Best regards,
Pae

Hi :)
Errr, when posting a new question to the lists here please start a new email and use copy&paste to
put the address into the "To" field. Taking an existing thread and doing "Reply
to" and just changing the subject-line doesn't create a new thread. I have forwarded teh mail to
the list to break it out of the old thread and createa new one so it's ok now. Sorry about this not
working intuitively! :(
I have just been looking at the
http://musescore.org/en/handbook/file-format
website. It looks as though saving as png or svg might get the results you
want more effectively. Not all systems can cope with svg (scalar vector
graphics) yet but png seems to work everywhere and should be reasonably easy to
print.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
Is this something to do with missing or unavailable fonts? Could it be that
musescore uses a font that is not available to the rest of the system?
Is it possible to generate a pdf from musescore by asking it to print-to-file
and then get it to use pdf instead of ps? I think that is a way of getting the
fonts to be embedded in the pdf itself.
Regards from
Tom :)

I brought up
the question a few days again. I was told this is
extension was designed by a third party. The current version was
designed for oO and not libreoffice

It seems like there is an issue using pdfimport extension with LibreOffice.
When importing a simple PDF file it
seems ok means visible, but not 100% identical as advertised. It even got
worse when opening a PDF file generate
by MuseScore, http://musescore.org/. For example, the followin step will
reproduce the case:
1. Lauch ther MuseScore which open a sample sheet music.
2. Save it by "File -> Save As ..." which gives you an option to select the
format at the bottom right right
above
Cancel and Save buttons.
3. Select "PDF File" format and click Save button. (When saving it you may
need to change the file extension with
".pdf", not ".mscz")
4. Open the saved PDF file with your PDF viewer which should show identical
as shown in the MuseScore window.
5. Open the same PDF file with LibreOffice, there are lot of missing notes
and garbled font something not recognizable.
It is known that the OpenOffice is handed to Apache and is in midst of
transitional phase. And the pdfimport package
seems about same in a functional aspect in both OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
Is the pdfimport too early for the prime time? Who's maintaining the source
code?
