If you insert an object in a file and export it to pdf, the object is not attached in pdf. It would be a good idea that objects that are inserted in a file are added as attachments to export to pdf.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Design team: this request was self-confirmed 10 years ago and lacked a proper description. However, it seems to be about OLE objects.
If I add a OLE objects whether internal formats such as Chart or as file, in both cases the content is exported to PDF as seen on the document.
Created attachment 169168 [details] Test document If you open the document on Libreoffice you can see that have an OLE object test.txt and you can open it. If you export to pdf, in the pdf you could see an icon but you can not get test.txt attach into pdf.
Created attachment 169173 [details] Screenshot Writer and PDF Your document contains of a dummy text and an image.
You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone else confirms it.
This issue exist in LibreOfficeDev 7.2 The inserted OLE object is missing in the PDF document.
Cannot confirm the issue (Linux, kf5), and ultimately it's not a question for UX.

The original attachment contains dummy text and an **icon** which if double-clicked opens another Writer document with further dummy text
Created attachment 182820 [details] Export to PDF with MSO Confirming. However, when I export with MSO the embedded object is taken into the document. Makes me wonder what expectation users may have thinking about more complex objects. Isn't our approach more WYSIWYG than this unpleasing solution?
Miklos, what do you think about exporting embedded objects?
Loosing less data during PDF export sounds like a reasonable improvement, if somebody wants to work on this.
I can add to this that I tried today to insert a spreadsheet-file as an OLE object in a LO writer document, and that it works in Writer (i can open the document by double clicking on the icon in the file), but after exporting to PDF, this no longer works. Double clicking the icon in the resulting PDF does nothing. All other hyperlinks work correctly. using LO 7.3.6.2 on Kubuntu
