Description Scott Frost 2013-05-15 22:13:21 UTC
Created attachment 79368 [details]
This fill will not convert to PDF

Here is my command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4.0\program\soffice.exe" --headless --norestore --convert-to pdf %1

The attached file crashes every time.  I can reproduce this on multiple machines with the latest 4.x version.

Comment 2 bfoman (inactive) 2013-05-16 08:56:53 UTC
Checked with:
LO 4.1.0.0.alpha1
Build ID: 67ce08e2c64a6615abc90d3a3c442f90d86fa69
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Could not reproduce. File converted to PDF.
My command was: soffice.exe --headless --norestore --convert-to pdf bad.docx

Your command line with %1 is part of a script?
Comment 3 Scott Frost 2013-05-16 13:09:06 UTC
When I run it, it creates a ".~lock.bad.pdf#" file, then the process just hangs.

If I try it without --headless (or --invisible) and without --norestore, the next time I run it I get the "Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice crashed" dialog.

Nothing is written to Windows Event Log and I have no option to save a log to the filesystem.

Perhaps it's because the machines are Windows Server 2012?  Is there a way to enable verbose logging?

You can try to get a backtrace with WinDbg or procdump according to instructions in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg. Please attach the log. Also always please write in the report as many details as possible - best to read http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport.

I can not reproduce this using Linux Mint 15 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 and following command:  soffice --headless --norestore --convert-to pdf bad.docx
convert /home/joren/Downloads/bad.docx -> /home/joren/Downloads/bad.pdf using writer_pdf_Export
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2013-05-29 19:35:30 UTC
Scott: as suggested by bfoman could you try for the test with file name directly instead of %1 ?
Comment 7 Scott Frost 2013-05-29 19:42:32 UTC
I'm beginning to think it's a Windows Server 2012 issue.  I tried it on two different Windows 8 boxes and couldn't reproduce it, but it's reproducible on 3 different Windows 2012 Server boxes (2 virtual, 1 physical).
Comment 8 Julien Nabet 2013-05-29 19:45:02 UTC
Scott: if specific to one box, you should rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try.
If you still reproduce this, the best thing to do will be to retrieve a bt as bfoman suggested.
Comment 9 Scott Frost 2013-05-29 20:20:45 UTC
Windows 2012 Server.  Created C:\Temp\LibreOffice.  Disabled permission inheritance and forced folder to Everyone > full permissions.

Ran: "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4.0\program\soffice.exe" -env:UserInstallation=file:///C:/Temp/LibreOffice --headless --norestore --convert-to pdf bad.docx

Same crash.

It's not one BOX, it's the same OS across multiple boxes.
Comment 10 retired 2014-07-27 12:00:33 UTC
Am I crazy to suggest this is NOTOURBUG?

It works on several OS, except for one. Does LO 4.3.0.3 on Windows Server 2012 change anything for the better?

Is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release?
4.3RC3: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Please also try resetting your user profile and let us know if that helps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please set this bug back to UNCONFIRMED. Should this issue be solved set it to WORKSFORME.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.
Comment 11 Julien Nabet 2014-07-29 17:14:57 UTC
Scott: In addition to what Foss indicated, if you have time, you can try to retrieve a backtrace by following this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg
