LibreOffice is not a PDF editor--*all* we will do is filter import a PDF. Any 'signature' would have no meaning. And if PDF is has security set--i.e. requires a password to open--we do. After the filter imported objects have been worked with in one of the LO modules, a new PDF export document (with signature and password security) can be created. That said, the filter import should not crash with "General input/output error". Please follow your workflow to prepare a example PDF with signature and attach (include password if any).
Created attachment 161295 [details] Test File as requested This is a pdf file that ist created in the way i reported the bug. it was a pages document that's printed into a pdf using Mac OS printing-tool. No Problem to import in that state. But after adding my signature at it with "Vorschau" App, the pdf will not be imported to LibreOffice: "General Error.General input/output error." occurs.

Confirming with Version : 6.4.4.2 Build ID : 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.15.4; UI Render : par défaut; VCL: osx; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Langue IHM : fr-FR Calc: threaded The behaviour is inconsistent to say the least : (1) if I drag and drop the PDF file containing the signature object onto the Dock icon of LO, nothing happens. (2) if I drag and drop the PDF file containing the signature object onto the StartCenter, I get the error message. (3) if I try to open the file via the File > Open dialog, I get the error message. (4) if I try to open the file as in (3) and apply the filetype filter for opening PDF in Writer, I get the error message. (5) if I try to open the file as in (3) and apply the filetype filter for opening PDF in Impress, I get the error message. (6) if I try to open the file as in (3) and apply the filetype filter for opening PDF in Draw, I get the error message.
If I try the same thing with LO Vanilla Version : 6.4.4.2 Build ID : 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.15.4; UI Render : par défaut; VCL: osx; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Langue IHM : fr-FR Calc: threaded and drag and drop the file onto the Dock icon, the file is loaded into Writer, but is essentially gibberish, as it attempts a flat decode : %PDF-1.3 %��������� 4 0 obj << /Length 5 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >> stream This is because LO Vanilla doesn't appear to have any PDF import suppport included.
This was wrongly marked as MacOS but is reproducible in Win and Lin, also 7.4+. Could be a duplicate of bug 106057.
Dear Alexander, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.
