Bug ID: 152143
Summary: Provide a mechanism to export PDF to text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Currently it is not possible to export PDF files loaded in LibreOffice (Draw)
to text. The importance of this feature for Arabic/Persian/Hebrew or other RTL
languages is that there are very few applications that can convert PDF to text
correctly for RTL text. On the other hand, many problems with loading RTL PDF
files in LibreOffice are either fixed or recently being fixed by Kevin. So, it
would be very helpful to have a working PDF->TXT converter that works for
Arabic/Persian via LibreOffice Draw.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke this command:
liberoffice7.4 --convert-to txt:Text test.pdf
Actual Results:
The Output ins not created, and this error message is generated:
convert test.pdf -> test.txt using filter : Text
Error: Please verify input parameters... (SfxBaseModel::impl_store

Expected Results:
The PDF should be converted to text.
Reproducible: Always
