Hi.
LibreOffice cannot read every doc format files downloaded form Government Law service site.
It just shows blank page with footer.
In mac, textedit and other doc/rtf editors also cannot read these files.
BUT MS office, OpenOffice and NeoOffice can read it without problem.

Something strange seems to be embedded in document files.
If OO and Neo can read, LO may do it too after fixing something.
Please check my attached file. Its contents are Korean and has 19 pages.
Thanks.

I can confirm with Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 51d16cc69d8ad9065f61d108ea25d6a025a2e228
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-05-17_03:27:43

I see the text in word2010. The same in 4.3.0.0.alpha1+. Crashes LO 3.5.

File opens fine with 3.3.0.4-3.3.4.1.
It hangs/crashes versions 3.4.0.1-3.4.6.2.
With version 3.5.0.3-3.5.3.2, it opens with one page with short text and a table with some garbage.
With versions starting with 3.5.4.2, it opens with only one page with short text, small table and footer with table. The table in body is very similar to table in footer.
Tested under Win7X64.

Marking as REGRESSION and adjusting version appropriately.

On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 5.0.4.2, I don't think the file is ok but at least, it's far from empty!
Could you give it a try with recent LO version?

With 5.2, document looks OK, but the table in the footer has two identical rows.
Comment 6 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2016-04-12 07:37:01 UTC 
Not reproducible with current master (Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: cf1ecad26d22e3dc5f556f976bdc49a31bfa5630) built at home under Ubuntu 15.10 x86-64.
I see a document with 17 pages, will attach the exported pdf. 
Please, could you test again ?

Best regards. JBF

The file opens in LO 5.1.3.0.0+ too.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2016-05-29 13:47:34 UTC 
Following Jean-Baptiste's comment, could you give a try to last stable LO version 5.1.3?
Comment 10 Jeehyun 2016-05-30 10:38:15 UTC 
It works very well.
I can see all documents without problem.
Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback, let's put this one to WFM then.
