Trying to open a PDF file in LibreOffice obtained from the macOS appstore results in a General input/output error, no matter what method is used (File|Open or Insert Text from File, dragging from finder) Cause: pdf import is realized using a helper utility (xpdfimport, from poppler) that resides alongside the soffice executable in the Contents/MacOS folder Those additional utilities/helpers were signed with the same entitlements like the main program, and that's an error. Helper utilities must be signed with only the sandbox and inherit entitlements in order to run in the same sandbox context. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/embedding-a-helper-tool-in-a-sandboxed-app "Adding other entitlements to the tool can cause problems. If the tool immediately crashes with a code signing error when your app runs the tool, check that the tool is signed with just these two entitlements: com.apple.security.app-sandbox and com.apple.security.inherit."

Dear Christian Lohmaier, 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. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. 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. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
