Original Impress, and resulting PDF
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2018-04-17 16:13:38 UTC
Confirmed on Windows 10 Ent 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.0.3.1 (x64)
Build ID: 62abb169b0efa1520d7bee1f586865354060b989
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group

The Impress ODP has both PNG and PDF images embedded. When printing via gs the PNG are used. On export to PDF, the embedded PDF are used--but get mangled.

Extracting the embedded PDF, they all view (Adobe Reader) as expected. The PDF Producer is listed as: MAC OS X 10.12.6 Quartz PDF Context.

But on editing (Acrobat), each chart is a crop out from a larger part of a PDF that is still intact in the ODF.

I'd lean toward =>NOB bcz the Quartz generated PDF is corrupt and needs to be cleaned before use. But I'm not sure if we are expecting more robust handling when inserting cropped PDF and how we guard for the cropping extents.

@Miklos?

No, sorry I was not clear. Corrupt in the sense that when exported back to PDF the cropping window for each embedded PDF image has the correct dimension, but is misplaced from its original.  So is that an internal of the OS X cropping to PDF (and maybe NOB), or something we need to adjust in LO's PDF export filter to correct location of the cropped element?

Guess when I get a moment I'll check if after restoring the full PDFs, i.e. reversing the cropping, I can use a different PDF editor to crop out each chart and then recompose the Impress slide. And then export it from LibreOffice as PDF to see if there is a better result.

Repro 7.4+. Mikloš, please see this. Regression is Caolán's but you fixed a similar one.

Meaning that's the 1st bad commit where export is blank:
author Caolán McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com>	2017-03-15
take pre-calculated size from vector::size

There was another bug 114460 of similar title that also went blank by the same commit. That one was fixed by Mikloš.

Meaning that export went from blank to differently bad:

Still repro - the result looks like the PDF in attachment 141419 [details], not like in attachment 141468 [details] (no blank image).
