Bug ID: 146850
Summary: Adobe Acrobat Document inserted into .docx file using
LiberOffice Writer can't be opened by Word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.8.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If I create a docx file using LiberOffice Writer, then insert an OLE object of
type Adobe Acrobat Document, then save the file, I can double click on the
document in Writer and it'll open up in Adobe Reader. However, if I open the
docx file in Microsoft Word and double click on the inserted object, it reports
an error and I can't open the Adobe document.
The reverse is no problem, i.e. if I insert the Adobe Acrobat Document using
Word, I can double click on it after opening the docx file using LibreOffice
Writer and the Adobe document is displayed properly.
I am using the latest Microsoft 365 version of Word, on Windows 11 64 bit.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Writer and create a new document
2.Add some text
3.In the middle of the text, choose Insert -> Object -> OLE Object
4.In the popup window, choose Further objects
5.In the new popup window, choose Adobe Acrobat Document.
6.Click OK.
7.Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Reader opens, go to that window and choose the PDF
to insert.
8.Back in LibreOffice Writer, the Adobe Document should be inserted and the
first page displayed.
9.Double click on the inserted object, it should open in Adobe Reader or Adobe
Acrobat DC etc.
10.Close Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
11.Back in LibreOffice Writer, Choose File -> Save As and save as Word 2007-365
(*.docx)
12.Quit LibreOffice Writer.
13.Open the .docx file using Microsoft Word
14.Double click on the inserted Adobe Document.
15.Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC etc. opens up and either display nothing, or says
that there was an error.
Actual Results:
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC etc. opens up and either display nothing, or says that
there was an error.
Expected Results:
Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC etc. should open up and display the Adobe document.
