Created attachment 102404 [details] FIle that was corrupted after trying to export to PDF Using LibreOffice 4.2.4.2, exported a .odp file to a PDF file and two bad things happened: the images in the .odp file were not transferred except the very first AND all figures except the first are now missing in the .odf file.
Hi, can you provide your original odp file? what is the format of the image? Thanks - set as Needinfo until we get the file. Sophie

Sophie I am using LibreOffice 4.2.5.2 (latest version) with Ubuntu 14.04. I put an example of a corrupted .odp file at this URL http://www.phy.duke.edu/~hsg/bad-impress-file.odp look at slides 15 and 16. You can compare this with a PDF export of the .odp file that I made http://www.phy.duke.edu/~hsg/bad-impress-file.pdf before the file became corrupted. Most of the images that disappear are in .png format, e.g., I used the Ubuntu screen capture utility Screenshot to grab part of some image on the screen (typically from some web page), then copy and paste the image directly into LibreOffice Impress without saving it into a file. I believe there have been some cases though where the missing image came from importing the image from an external file, rather than copying and pasting. But most of the problems seem to be with images that were pasted directly into Impress. As others have pointed out, this bug is extremely alarming and frustrating since it means that I can't tell in advance whether one of of my presentation files will display correctly, and it can take a lot of time to recover the images and repair the problem. The bug is also happening frequently, just about every Impress (.odp) file I have created during the last few weeks has lost some images upon opening a saved .odp file. LibreOffice should make this a very high priority to fix since Impress is currently too unreliable to use, and this means that my Linux based computers are not usable for preparing talks until this is fixed. Thanks, Henry
Hi, the odp file you provided have missing images for slide 15 and 16. I can't reproduce the problem with pdf export, all the images contained in the odp are well exported to pdf. Left as unconfirmed as I can't reproduce even with my own file - Sophie

At that point, there is no original file to give you, the file has been irreversibly damaged. Somehow saving the .odp file is what is causing the corruption since the file is ok while I am actively using Impress. So how am I supposed to give you an original file and its corrupted version since I can't save the file without corrupting it? Can you try creating a .odp Impress file, pasting in an image created with Screenshot (or someother screen capture utility), saving the file, and then seeing if the saved file is corrupted (image not accessible)? Since this bug happens frequently for me and for others, it needs to be addressed by LibreOffice, it is a very serious bug. If you can't reproduce the bug, then, based on my own experience in writing a lot of code, someone will need to rewrite the part of the Impress code that handles inserting images until the code is more clear and more concise. At some point, the bug will be accidently eliminated (by writing better and different code) or because it the code is so clear that it becomes obvious why there is a bug. Thanks, Henry
One other thought: I have thought of saving some of the .odp files in .pptx format as a backup but found this was not practical because the conversion of .odp to .pptx also has some significant bugs in which certain images (e.g., created by the TexMaths equation program) and certain text (display of bullets) are not exported correctly to the .pptx file. See slide 10 of these two files: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~hsg/good-file.odp http://www.phy.duke.edu/~hsg/good-file.pptx as an example where the conversion from .odp to .pptx is not done correctly. Perhaps this is a bug related to missing images since the TexMaths program creates a standard image (GIF?) that should be handled straightforwardly when exporting. Thanks, Henry
Hi Henry.. Looks like you're reporting a duplicate to some bugs: - About ODP filesave with save as link: Bug 80849 & Bug 81423 - About ODP filesave with embedded images: Bug 46447 Please be noted only 1 bug per bug report. PPTX filesave is different problem that should be reported in another bugs and you could search that. @Sophie, I tend to mark this as dupe to Bug 46447
yes, it's a dup of #46447. Sophie *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 46447 ***
