Sorry but writer can't insert text from a pdf file, you can insert a pdf as OLE object through Menu/Insert/Object/OLE Object. In fact you can't see the pdf on the file types in the Menu/Insert/Text from file. In any case for me doesn't crash, only show an error message.

Yes, that's right, but question remains, why it crashes and if it happens with every pdf-document. > In fact you can't see the pdf on the file types in the Menu/Insert/Text from > file.

Who knows what are text files by extension, some are common but every one sets the extension that likes, when are not created by an usual program, in any case a request for enhancement not a bug, and sorry but I thing we have enough without corner cases. > > In any case for me doesn't crash, only show an error message. > > Yes What that means?, crash or only error message, if the last, it's not a bug.
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #4) > What that means?, crash or only error message, if the last, it's not a bug. I recieve an error message, but perhaps it crashes at Paolo. So we need that information and perhaps link to crash report.

Created attachment 156661 [details] crash result window
I have the same result with every .pdf file. when I try to connect .pdf as a ole object, the software blocks and the only one solution is forcing close the window. when I try to insert text from .txt document, it doesn't do anything at all.
I can't reproduce it in Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: c8d764b3f27c2bb0712745891b70630e94436317 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: x11; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded and I fail to understand why this issue was changed to NEW. the confirmer didn't leave any comment. Putting it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone else reproduces it
On 2019-12-19, I too failed to reproduce the problem. My note to myself at the time is a brusque "PLAN: NFA"; I do not remember how hard I tried. I believe that it is comment 6 which explains advancing the bug to status NEW.
(In reply to Terrence Enger from comment #11) > I believe that it is comment 6 which explains advancing the bug to > status NEW. => NEW, because of comment 6. Xisco please explain, if you don't agree with it.

Paolo, are you using LO provided by your distro? (and if so, which one) I wonder if this could be a case of some missing package. On a sidenote, opening the PDF directly hangs LO.

Great, then let's close.
hi. my libreoffice version is: Versione: 6.4.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.4.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 Thread CPU: 4; SO: Linux 5.4; Resa interfaccia: predefinito; VCL: gtk3; Versione locale: it-IT (it_IT.UTF-8); Lingua interfaccia: it-IT this time software doesn't crash. I updated it after installing ubuntu 20.04. I have always the same problem (ext4 file system): I opened writer and created a text doc with only one word (eg abracadabra): I saved the file as pdf on the desktop; then I created a new text doc and choosed insert -> text from file -> <mydoc>.pdf; writer returned an error: 'error opening file'. error can be in the menu options or file format or I don't know. may be it should work or not have the option (like showing only odt or text files).(In reply to Aron Budea from comment #14) > Paolo, are you using LO provided by your distro?
