Description Bob 2021-03-19 20:20:45 UTC
Description:
I made an AppleScript to convert .docx file to .pdf : "do shell script "
	& Quote (
		"/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --convert-to pdf --outdir "
		& Quote ( ConvertFromFileMakerPath ( $DIR ; PosixPath ) )
		& " "
		& Quote ( ConvertFromFileMakerPath ( $DOCX ; PosixPath ) )
	)

However the converted PDF file has grey lines added to the document that were not in the origional document.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Container containing a .docx file
2.using the aforementioned AppleScript 
3.converts to a .PDF file in another container

Actual Results:
Running the Above AppleScript  produces grey lines in any converted document.  I am on a Powerbook Pro running Big Sur

Expected Results:
A clean copy of the origional word file in PDF format.  Manually using the print to PDF command in the OS it works without error and without lines!


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I am not a programmer and this script was prepared for me.  The Preparer runs it on his system not running Big Sur and it works without errors

Wrong report on multiple accounts:
1. you need to attach sample DOCX 
2. you need to test GUI Export and Print to PDF, both
3. you should test master 7.3+ from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
