Description Gianmarco 2014-01-29 13:13:53 UTC
I open with Impress a ppt file which contain a table linked to an excel sheet.
I can see correctly the table on the screen but if I try to print or export it as PDF it loose data in the table.
The table is managed in LO like an image (the link is lost) but since we use a lot of presentation to show company data on momthly basis it is impossible to print any reliable data.
Tested on Windows 7 PRO sp1 32bit and Windows Enterprise 64bit.LO version 4.0.4.2 ;4.1.0.4 ;4.1.4.2;4.1.3.2;4.1.1.2
Test with Debian stable (LO 3.5) print and export are OK.
Same behaviour if we save the file as ODP.
regards
Gianmarco

Comment 3 Eugene Kin 2014-06-19 09:01:09 UTC
Confirm the issue with printing and PDF export of DOC/DOCX documents with Calc table in it

1) Create new Text Document
2) Copy/Paste table from Calc
3) Save document in DOC or DOCX format
4) Close document
5) Open document
6) Try to print or make PDF export

Operation takes too long (LibO freezes for couple of minutes)
Tables are exported as images
Printed or exported document get broken (some borders and/or text is missing)

LibO version: 3.6 - 4.3 RC1
LibO 3.5, OpenOffice 4.1.0, Symphony 3.0.1 are making correct export to PDF and printing

Tested on Windows 7 SP1 x64 and Windows XP SP3

Comment 20 Xisco Faulí 2016-12-06 11:09:39 UTC
I can't reproduce it in

Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 18b3138a7ac4da823e41640bed8a4707029b8fb0
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.8; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group

Probably only happening in Windows. Can someone confirm it's still reproducible in master?
Comment 21 Buovjaga 2016-12-20 18:52:45 UTC
To summarize:

Gianmarco's PPT exports OK
- with 3.5 on Linux (Gianmarco's test)
- with 5.4 on Linux (my test)

Gianmarco's PPT exports badly (only top left corner)
- with 3.6.7.2 on Linux (my test)
- with 5.4 on Windows (my test)

Eugene's DOC exports OK
- with 3.3 on Linux (my test)
- with 5.4 on Linux (my test)

Eugene's DOC exports badly
- with 3.6.7.2 on Linux (my test) (nothing)
- with 5.4 on Windows (my test) (only top 4 rows have content)

So all in all, Gianmarco's and Eugene's issue seem to have the same root cause and this *should* be bibisectable as it has worked on Linux in the bibisect range.

Changing OS to all, even though Linux is OK now with master.
