I've never had it crash on me either, but it has other
shortcomings. For me, the deal-breaker was some sort of bug in pdf
export. On second thought, I guess what happens during pdf export
is indeed a "crash". Every time I try to export my document with
"PDF/A-1a" selected, I get a message from Windows (Win 7) saying
that Open Office has stopped working.
This is an important thing. Do we have a bug report for this? Is it
repeatable?
It will not be fixed when it's not properly reported. Developers
eventually read in this user group, but better let them use their
time to fix tasks. Thus, your very welcome and important donation to
the project would be to write a bug report, maybe with examples.
Please check before if there already is one. If yes, please mention
the BugID when talking about it (as here).
Thanks in advance!
I have never made a bug report before. How do I do it?
First, thanks for keeping us informed. You can register for Bugzilla:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ and then write a task there.
If you have or can create a reduced example I can also do that for
you, when I can reproduce it here, see below.
I have tried it at least a half dozen times always with the same
results. If I deselect "PDF/A-1a" it exports without crashing. If I
select "PDF/A-1a" it crashes during export.
As far as attaching the offending document, it is a master document
with 44 sub documents, a total of 566 pages when fully expanded.
Seems that would be a lot of files to attach.
This is of course too much for a task in bugzilla. Often it is
possible to reduce examples for tasks to relevant parts, in this case
to the part which causes the crash. Do you have a hint which part
crashes? Does that pasr alone crash? Maybe you have a simple example
for the crash? Maybe someone else has one (many people are reading
here). If yes, please, speak up!
You may isolate the problematic part retalively quick if it's possible
to split your example always in two halfs, thus getting to a small
example relatively quickly.
Earlier, someone posted a link to a bug report concerning PDF export
from Print Preview. I have no idea if this is the same bug or not.
To ensure this or to find out we will need your reduced example, too,
no way around ;-)
OK, I copied all the files to a test folder (btw, I was mistaken, there
are 49 sub files). If I open the master document without expanding the
sub files, it will export successfully. Any one of the sub files will
export successfully (well, I didn't try every one of them, but
several). I deleted all the sub files from the navigator except for two
which are only 2 pages each, so there are a total of only 6 pages, and
it crashes just as before. Is that sufficiently abbreviated?
