Description:
Unable to convert this single page PPTX to PDF

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put this file on a centos vm running Centos Linus 7.4.1708 (Core)
2. execute the command sudo yum -y install libreoffice
3. Execute the following command 'libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf abc123.pptx'

Actual Results:
It gives an error called "application error"

Expected Results:
We expected the command to convert the file to a pdf


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
We were able to convert this pptx file to pdf using windows.  We could convert it to XML, and PPT.  We then tried to convert the XML and PPT version of this file into pdf and it gave the same "application error" message.

LO 5.0 is old, please give a try to a recent LO version.
6.3.5 is last stable LO version and there's also brand 6.4.2

On pc Debian testing x86-64 with LO Debian package 6.4.2, no pb to convert the file.
Comment 3 Robert 2020-04-02 20:21:04 UTC 
What about testing with centos 7.4.1708 with package 6.4.2?
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2020-04-02 20:32:51 UTC 
if you can, go ahead!

Command in Ubuntu is soffice  --headless --convert-to pdf file
I don't know about command libreoffice .

I'll mark NotABug. If you can repeat with soffice and new LO, set Unconfirmed.

I was able to get this working with the 64bit RPM packages using libreoffice6.4.  We can close this now.
