docx document with an embedded PDF

A regression seems to exist when dealing with .docx files with embedded PDF objects.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Double click the PDF

Current behavior:
In 4.3.1.2 - A file with an odd name (xxxx.tmp) is opened in Writer


Expected behavior:
The Operating system's PDF reader should open the file.

The issue was confirmed on:
- 4.3.1 on win8.1 x64
- 4.3.1.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 

The expected behaviour is observed in:
- 4.1.x on windows
- 3.x on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.3.1.2 release
Last worked in: 4.1.3.2 release

/me was user confirming under win8.1 64bit. I don't have any older versions installed to test...
Comment 2 Miguel 2014-09-26 10:34:25 UTC
Just tried in 4.3.2.2 and a different (but still wrong) behaviour is experienced - clicking on the object does not seem to open any application at all, so it is impossible to open the embedded object.

Tried in Version: 4.4.4.3
Build ID: 4.4.4.3-6.fc22 (Fedora)

The problem is still happening that it does not open the embedded document at all.

However, it does create a temporary file under a directory 
/tmp/lu*

By renaming the .tmp file there to .pdf, I can sometimes open it.

In some cases, the embedded document is damaged. I will try to add a test case for this.

Either I'm dump (Saturday "morning") or the PDF in the attached document doesn't opened any more.

@x1sco/buovjaga: can you try it, please?

Actually, I cannot reproduce the bug: the PDF opens in Okular on Linux and Acrobat on Windows!
