Description Dhaval Sonawane 2022-03-16 16:50:57 UTC
Description:
I have a pptx document which I am trying to convert to PDF using the `convert-to pdf` option through the command-line

For this particular document, the resulting PDF is not produced correctly. The footer of the table gets overlayed into the table itself. Check the attached PDF for the incorrect output

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke Libre office call with the following command - 
[soffice --nologo --norestore --headless -env:UserInstallation=file:///Users/dhaval/ --convert-to pdf --outdir /Users/dhaval/ /Users/dhaval/tableProblem-english.pptx]

2. Observe the incorrect PDF produced

Actual Results:
For this particular document, the resulting PDF is not produced correctly. The footer of the table gets overlayed into the table itself. Check the attached PDF for the incorrect output

Expected Results:
PDF should look same as the input file


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comment 3 Timur 2022-03-17 10:49:21 UTC
No repro 7.3 and 7.4+ Win GUI and Lin headless. So may be Mac only if confirmed. 
Not sure what -env:UserInstallation is used for in headless, you may try without.
Comment 4 Timur 2022-03-17 10:50:16 UTC
Also, you should write first if PPTX opens OK in GUI.
Comment 5 Timur 2022-03-17 11:49:10 UTC
Also try this: soffice --convert-to pdf:impress_pdf_Export /Users/dhaval/tableProblem-english.pptx
Comment 6 Dhaval Sonawane 2022-03-17 18:34:50 UTC
Thanks for looking into it Timur.

About your suggestions: 
1. Tried opening the pptx in LibreOffice, I see the same issue (Attaching a screenshot libreoffice-ui.png)
2. Tried opening in MS Office, the pptx renders correctly. (Attaching a screenshot msoffice-ui.png)
3. I tried the --convert-to pdf command in a docker container running on Redhat. Still see the same issue
4. Tried the command `soffice --convert-to pdf:impress_pdf_Export /Users/dhaval/tableProblem-english.pptx`, still results in the incorrect output.

Also may be a problem with fonts. It has Meiryo UI font which I don't have in Linux and it's replaced, LO doesn't say with what. But I have it in Windows. Please write if you have it or it's italic/replaced in LO. You may replace it in Options-Fonts.

I was able to replicate this with Arial font too. 
I just opened the ppt in MS Office, selected all elements on page, changed font to Arial. Then I opened the file in LO GUI to verify

I mark Mac unless proved otherwise. 
Daily master 7.4+ is at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html. It should install separately to working LO.

Thanks. I tried the 7.4.0 dev build on my mac and I still see the same issue. Find the attached snapshot

Comment 22 Timur 2022-03-25 06:38:09 UTC
Did you test on the same machine, can it maybe be HiRes monitor?
Also check slide size.
Comment 23 Dhaval Sonawane 2022-03-29 20:24:38 UTC
This has occurred on a linux machine as well.
This is not due to the monitor because this happens even when we process the file through command line (office --convert-to pdf) option

Input pptx file with Arial font

I think we should try once more and close if nothing can be concluded. 
So, here is PPTX with Arial. 
It opens OK for me in Linux and Windows, I have Arial installed. 
Please make another screenshot in Linux, make sure that cursor is in the main table (because that's where problem comes from) and font field is visible.

The example file in PP 2010 and Impress

Looks to be mostly a font replacement issue. On Windows it looks mostly okay:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a4ab155ae15e9e6d4deb157634f8b86c87fcbde4
CPU threads: 14; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Except for the table height is about 0.3 cm larger than in PP.

On Linux I see the same size change as on the other attachments.
Comment 27 Timur 2022-07-20 13:14:54 UTC
Gabor, please explain what exactly you confirmed for. 
1st example was with Meiryo, 2nd with Arial, reporter's look is different.
Comment 28 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2022-07-20 16:10:07 UTC
(In reply to Timur from comment #27)
> Gabor, please explain what exactly you confirmed for.

The first example with Meiryo font, and the slightly different table size (this part may worth splitting it out).

About the font there is a panose="020B0604020202020204" attribute saved in the example file, which may sound somewhat magical to interpret, but it is defined in an ISO standard, which is referenced by the OOXML ISO standard. 
So that information can be interpreted to find a somewhat better fitting replacement font.
Comment 29 Timur 2022-07-21 10:21:46 UTC
But we do not keep separate bugs for font replacement. Common ones are in bug 64509.
