Poor image resolution in exported PDF

[Magnus Hjorth]

Binary package hint: abiword

When exporting to PDF, images with text wrapping on both sides get much lower resolution than images that are in-line. See attached file for an example

Versions:
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty w. all packages up-to-date
abiword package version 2.6.6-0ubuntu1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached test case
2. Export to PDF using "Save Copy..."
3. Open resulting PDF in Evince

Expected results:
Both images should have the same (and decent) resolution

What happened instead:
The image with text wrapping got very bad resolution, while the in-line image got good resolution.

Also tested the Abiword stable team's PPA package 2.6.8-5ubuntu0ppa2 and built the source package from Karmic, both times with the same result.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Could test the current Ubuntu development version? It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information?

Lucid now has Abiword 2.8.2 as default, can you confirm this still exists, please.

With the Lucid development version, the bug has changed behavior. Now both the images in my test case end up with poor resolution.

I'm sorry, the last attachment was the PDF output, not the screenshot.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
