Public bug reported:
OS is Hardy 8.04 fully patched
Openoffice.org 3.0
Here are the four programs I have used to test this:
1. Evince
2. Xournal (which has some limited pdf editing capability through use of layers)
3. Acrobat reader 8 for linux
4. Foxit reader 2.2 for Windows
Scenario 1:
When I create a document in Openoffice and wish for this document to be
readable on all platforms I select "export to PDF" I then
usually leave the default options except I select the PDF/A1 as the help says
it preserves internally all the fonts used in the document.
When I wish to print a hard copy of the document, if I print from
acrobat reader all of the text is garbage though the display is correct.
When I open the same document in xournal it prints properly. When I
open in evince (which I try to avoid because of another printing problem
I have with it) it prints properly. When I open the file on a windows
installation using foxit reader 2.2 it displays garbage. On each
platform if it displayed garbage it will print garbage except for
acrobat which will display the text normally but still print garbage.
1. Xournal - result=normal
2. Evince - result=normal
3. Acrobat 8 - result= normal display but garbage printout
4. Windows foxit reader 2.2 - result garbage display and printout
Scenario 2:
I create the document in openoffice and I create another in gedit( the purpose
is to narrow whether it is openoffice export mechanism or a different part of
the PDF printing process)
This time I use "print to PDF" (the built in PDF printer that shipped with
Hardy) and then open in Acrobat and in foxit reader. In Acrobat, the text is
normal and the printout is garbage data. When I open the same document on
foxit reader in windows the display and print out is clean for both documents.
1. Xournal - not tested
2. Evince - not tested
3. Acrobat8 Hardy - result= display normal and garbage print
4. foxit reader on windows result = display and print is good
Scenario 3
Created document in openoffice and exported from openoffice. then I printed on
foxit and display was clear and print was clear.
I am not certain where the problem is but I think it is in Acrobat.
This is the reason I did not attach this to a certain application or
create the bug through the "report a problem" provision from within the
application.
I will attach the documents I used. On "test.pdf" , it was created and
exported as mentioned above in Oo.o3. OTH, "Unsaved_Document_1.pdf" and
"Part_D_journal.pdf" were both created using the Hardy PDF converter.
for "Part D Journal" it was created in openoffice and exported in
openoffice.
I realized after I started typing that launchpad only allows for 1
attachment in this post so I put all four in one file gzip'd.
Any help would be appreciated.
