Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice DOES NOT open .docx files

2011-07-05 Thread Graham Martin
I have attached a docx file generated with Adobe's ExportPDF service (as
well as the PDF from which it was generated). I would love to be able to use
that service with LibO, but the docx output just opens as a blank document
(to my eyes anyway).

Maybe someone can figure out why Adobe's ExportPDF produces a docx that is
blank.

Thanks. I hope you're well.
Graham

I'm sorry, but your attachment didn't arrive. In fact, the list software 
removes automatically any attachments. So please upload those two files 
somewhere on the internet and just post the links to them here.

 LibreOffice *does* have support for .docx, there's no false

 Although this support is not complete, this just means some features
 won't be imported/recognized. It should definitely *not* crash.
 
 You probably hit some bug. Does it happen only with that docx? Or
 converting other pdf also generates a .docx that crashes LibO?
 
 To find out exactly what's happening, it'd be useful to have access to a

 I confirm this one opens fine in 3.3.3, does it crash there?:

 Sadly it is paid, so I can't even generate a docx just to test.
 
I just opened this successfully on LibreOffice 3.3.3.1 on openSUSE 11.4

RE: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice DOES NOT open .docx files

2011-07-01 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Who knows, it could be a case of false advertisement on the part of Adobe [;).

Have you succeeded in opening the file in any of Microsoft Office 2003 (with 
Compatibility Pack) 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011?

It would be useful to know if the document, when resaved from Microsoft Office, 
was then readable by LibreOffice.

If the document is small enough and not precious to you, I can try some of that 
if you e-mail it to me.
