Description Gerlach 2013-08-02 16:33:26 UTC
Problem description: 
Hello, I've been maintaining an ODT document for many years (so this could be some legacy trash being dragged in the meta-code)...But recently the export-to-pdf button up top has crashed Writer.

***I have reverted the attached document back to 4.0.4.2, but it should happen when the document is opened in the newer release.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....Open the attached file in LibO 4.1.0.4
2. ....Click the Export to PDF button on th etoolbar
3. ....

Current behavior:
It should crash when the progress meter is near 20-30%. It may be image related, and it usually hesitates at each image point in the document.

Expected behavior:
PDF generated.

              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Last worked in: 4.0.4.2 release

Attachment is too large, so we may have to figure out a Plan B.
Comment 2 Michael 2013-08-02 16:54:40 UTC
Hi,

can you try and reduce the document size through deleting pages until the bug still occurs with minimal content? This would help to reduce the attachment size and make it easier to try and find the reason for crashing. 
Otherwise you could try and send the document to my email or upload it to a file hoster and send the link.

Thank you for your help.

Done. I started to do that, but then I kept paring it down out of curiosity to get it as lean as possible. 

This image (attached) has been in my document for over 2 years and spanned many, many versions past.

Hi,

I can confirm with 4.1.0.4 and 4.1.0.1 on OSX 10.8.4. pdf export works with 4.0.4.2. It also works with 4.1.0.4 on Ubuntu linux.

Looks similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67416 but not sure if it really has the same cause, so setting status to new.

Thanks for reporting.
Comment 6 Gerlach 2013-08-05 15:13:56 UTC
I swapped out the jpg with a differently-sourced version, and all is 
well. So I'd say that it implies corrupt jpg content (either metadata or 
visual). LibreOffice appears to function well, though it would be nice 
to have it scan for valid jpg content and warn, if that was the issue.
