Description Rex 2017-01-27 17:11:46 UTC
Description:
An XLSX-File created in a CAD-Program (without use of Excel, LibreOffice or OpenOffice) is opened by LibreOffice and a PDF Export (or printout) for further propagation is made. 
Depending on computer contents of spreadsheet look acceptable (rexw10lap) or lines are missing (rexw10) from EMF images. 
PDF export looks catastrophic. Images are moved nearly off page, sometimes text is missing, many lines are missing.
Also simple attempt to print to PDF (using Soda PDF) delivers unsatisfactory results.

To ensure reproducibility used two separate computers, both with Windows 10, same CAD drawing in STRAKON (CAD-Program), same XLSX-settings, LibreOffice 5.2.3.3 and Soda PDF. Also for comparison used PDF exports and printouts from OpenOffice and Excel.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attatched bug17598_rexw10lap.xlsx
2. Export to PDF
3. Print using a PDF printer or any other printer

Actual Results:  
see PDF attatchments

Expected Results:
create PDF files similar to what is seen in LibreOffice spreadsheet on screen


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Confirming with:

* With OpenGL lots of scrambled numbers (attachment 130985 [details])
* Without OpenGL it's looking a lot better (but far for perfect)
* PDF export issue exists (but already known bug 104252)

Adding it to the (long) list of similar EMF/WMF issues (bug 103859).
Comment 15 Rex 2018-05-15 08:44:06 UTC
Tried it on 6.0.3.2 
It looks somewhat better, but the output is still incorrect.
Page preview (seitenansicht) looks almost perfect! Unfortunately printing to laser and PDF export do not replicate this.
Numbers in last image  of page are duplicated and placed at top of next page. In other cases (see pages 6-7) graphics and numbers are completely jumbled up.

PDF export from version 7.3.4.2

This bug still exists in v. 7.3.4.2 
Happy to report that the output has improved related to v 7.1.3.2 !

On pages 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10, 10/10 the text from the last image on the preceding page is replicated on the head of the following page.

On pages 7/10, 8/10 the much more prevalent texts from the last row of images from the preceding page is replicated on the head of the following page.

Dear Rex,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
