On windows 7 x64 with Version: 6.0.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: 8f48d515416608e3a835360314dac7e47fd0b821
CPU threads: 3; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default

I don't see any picture on loading.
To make it work [atleast for me], extract the image and import it in LO(6) again.
The image is there on reload and on 'export as pdf'.

With this dev version it is still the same - no difference.
I will upload the pdf.

Comment 8 Elmar Hinrichs 2018-04-11 20:29:52 UTC
It seems to make a differen how the export to pdf is defined.
The failure comes to view if you choose the following:

lossless compression + adjust resolution to 150dpi

I cannot reproduce with Version: 5.4.7.1

I can neither reproduce with Version: 5.4.1.2

I chose lossless compression + adjust resolution to 150dpi in a fresh profile.

@Elmar: could you give your complete version information (Help > About LibreOffice : copy/paste all the text) ?

I've added V Stuart in CC, I cannot reproduce it on my Debian 8 system.

STR
1. Enable OpenGL rendering
2. Open attachment 141212 [details] to writer
3. Export (or Export as) to PDF
4. defaults (or profile reset):

   JPEG quality 90%
   reduce image quality to 300dpi
   create PDF form FDF
   export boookmarks

5. export --> PDF renders font as filled

6. reduce image quality to 150dpi (or 75dpi)

7. export --> PDF renders font to outline

Same affect on font rendering with Lossless compression, settings above 300dpi font is fully formed--150dpi and below the font is rendered outline.

However, _disable_ OpenGL rendering, repeat STR. And with default rendering, glyphs are filled at all resolutions. So this seems an issue with OpenGL rendering of the masked GIF.

The image is masked in Writer (so displaying just the "letterhead"). From ImageMagick's identify:

Tomaž, Armin -- thought you might be interested in this mishandling of bilevel GIFs with OpenGL which seems related to bug 103833 for our OpenGL rendering of bilevel PNGs.
