Created attachment 102618 [details] Archive with the original xlsx and the pdf results from LibreOffice and Microsoft Office 2010 When trying to create a pdf out of this xlsx file (originally made in Microsoft Office) we noticed something strange. The pdf from Microsoft Office 2010 is a 18 page document (the correct amount), while the pdf created by libreOffice has 44 pages. Trying to print the xlsx also gives me different results, Microsoft office wants to print 18 pages, while LibreOffice wants to print 38 (?) pages. There are also some stranges breaks in the pdf made by Libreoffice (see page 2 of the attached pdf) that shouldn't be there. I don't really know whether this is a export problem or a problem with the import of an xlsx file.
I tested under Win7x64 and it's reproducible with 4.2.5 and 3.6.0 as well (haven't tried older releases) interestingly if you use 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ (*) the exported pdf has 37 pages instead of 44 if you use AOO 4.1 the final pdf has 19 pages and I see no strange page breaks which are instead present in LibO... so developers could compare LibO and AOO code to fix the issue in LibO (*) Build ID: d5dd1216804afae35d7fe7dbb1d37b0ca1fcce88 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-07-11_00:09:47

I open attached xlsx in MS Office 2010, Version 14.0.7153.5000 (64-bit): * under Page Break Preview, it shows 19 pages. * under Page Setup, it shows Scaling adjected to 90%. I open attached xlsx in LibreOffice 4.4.2.2: * under Page Break Preview, it shows 44 pages. * under Page Setup, it shows Scaling factor of 100%. * if I change the scale factor to 90%, preview shows 19 pages.
Hi Jasper, thanks for testing. I guess this means the bug has been fixed, or wasn't a bug after all..
Hi Roeland. When I open the xlsx in LibreOffice 4.4.2.2: * Change the scale factor to 90%. * Save back in MS Excel 2007/2010/2013 XML Format (Ignoring content format warning). Then open the saved xlsx in MS Office 2010, the Scaling shown is 100%. Seems like scale factor in XLSX format doesn't work across LibreOffice and MS Excel. P.S.: Tested using Windows 7. Regardless if this is a bug, I would vote for LibreOffice to read/write scale factor in XLSX, like it was done in MS Excel. Thank you.
In AOO 4.1.1, it reads the scaling factor correctly as 90%, but it is not able to save in XLSX format. I would say this issue would be resolved if LibreOffice can read the scaling factor correctly for XLSX format. Since the issue pertains to exporting to the PDF format.
Scaling is an existing Bug 86396. As written here, LO now saves 19 pages comparing to MS 18 pages, so I would set this to WorksForMe for the original bug. It's possible to note the small difference in layout between LO and MS which results in that 1 page, but that should be a new bug, if one can see where the difference comes from. Otherwise, I am doubtful whether that could be corrected with reasonable effort.
@Timur, fine for me. Jasper, what do you think?
