This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-1709a07a-a774-47b4-ab79-6abee410db28. ========================================= 1. Opened a PDF file available here: http://www.allitebooks.com/clojure-data-structures-and-algorithms-cookbook/. 2. After opening, saved it as ODT. After some time Writer window closed by itself without completing saving. Also reproduced with another similar PDF file from same source (www.allitebooks.com).
Hi Amol, Thanks for reporting the bug. Out of curiosity, How do you convert the PDF file to .ODT ?
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Hi Xisco, > How do you convert the PDF file to .ODT ? In Writer open file dialog, i selected file type as: "PDF - Portable Document Format (Writer) (*.pdf)" to open the PDF file. (It is the last one in the list for supported Writer file formats.) After the file opened, i then tried to save it in ODT format when Writer crashed. By the way, i was able to save it in Linux without any crash (Writer version 5.1.6.2, build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2) (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). I have attached the saved ODT file for reference. It adds each line in the PDF in a separate "textbox" control in Writer. But overall i suppose it does a reasonably good job considering the complexity involved. Actually i am trying to convert the PDF to ePub using the "writer2pub" extension. However, it looks like writer2pub is unable to work with the document converted from PDF above. Possibly it ignores the "textbox" controls.

I can't find that option. are you using any extension with LibreOffice? > By the way, i was able to save it in Linux without any crash (Writer version > 5.1.6.2, build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2) (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
