I agree that the OO.o 2.4.1 being unable to open the document is not this problem.
It is an indication that something is occurring in the OOo-dev 3.4 package that breaks down-level compatibility for no apparent reason, and a separate issue (not yet investigated). I FOUND IT: Beside using <manifest:manifest> manifest:version="1.2", OOO-dev 3.4 uses aes256-cbc as the encryption algorithm. That is going to fail in any down-level implementation that does not support this allowed but not default encryption. SUGGESTED TEST: To see if the Save As with Password problem is related to choice of encryption method (and what may or may not be in the build), I suggest trying the Save As with Password after changing Tools | Options | Load/Save | General | ODF format version from 1.2 Extended to 1.2, and if that still fails, try ODF format 1.0/1.1 also. (I can't run that build, or I would do this myself.) -----Original Message----- From: Raphael Bircher [mailto:r.birc...@gmx.ch] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 01:01 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: AOOo can't save passwort protected file Hi Dennis Thank you for the test too Am 16.09.11 03:19, schrieb Dennis E.
