Description timi_openoffice 2007-01-29 15:26:19 UTC 
The attached .doc contains an image. In Word, I've clicked on editing the 
image, but didn't made any changes. When I open the document in OOo, it also 
appears as "object", not as image (what I does when I don't edit it before in 
word). As far, as well.

When I now want to produce a PDF from this, and if I choose "reduce 
resolution", Acrobat Reader shows me an error message when opening it and 
doesn't display nothing from the PDF. When I disable "reduce resolution", 
everything works fine.

Reproducable with 2.1 on Windows 2000 and 2.04 on openSUSE 10.2 / Acrobat 
Reader 7.x on Windows 2000 and on openSUSE 10.2

Confirming with OO 2.1 on WinXP - when using "Reduce resolution" resulting 
file is unreadable in Acrobat Reader 7.0.8.
Comment 5 wolframgarten 2007-01-30 07:52:33 UTC 
Reproducible with Acrobat Reader 8, too. Reassigned.
Comment 6 wolframgarten 2007-01-30 07:54:41 UTC 
Target set.
Comment 7 timi_openoffice 2007-01-30 10:14:16 UTC 
Also reproducable with kghostview-0.20 and gs-8.15.3 / openSUSE 10.2.

The problem could be reproduced using the attached file (Test3.doc) on the
following system configuration:

Platform: PC		OS: Windows XP SP2	Build: OOo 2.1
Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.9

However, the image in concern is indeed a picture object, not a picture file.
When I right click on the picture object, I noticed that there is a way to
modify it in Word. The image in concern is actually an object containing 37
pages of texts enclosed in tables and the real picture file at the top of the
first page.

In addition to that, I have performed a follow-up test. First I inserted a JPEG
image in Microsoft Word 2003 SP2. Then I opened it using OOo and exported it as
PDF with “Reduced image resolution†checked and set to 75 DPI. The PDF file was
exported successfully with a lower quality due to the reduced resolution.

It seems the problem ONLY occurs when a person tries to reduce the image
resolution of a PICTURE OBJECT when exporting the document to PDF.
