3) What is expected to happen using the libreoffice-pdfimport via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/310057/+attachment/2130070/+files/ah_41813a_j11_a_01564.pdf && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f otg ah_41813a_j11_a_01564.pdf && cp ah_41813a_j11_a_01564.otg export.otg && unoconv -f pdf export.otg && acroread ah_41813a_j11_a_01564.pdf export.pdf

is the O in the VZO logo is displayed green in both files.

4) What happens instead is the O is light blue.

From the Ubuntu bug report.

"
I downloaded
http://online.fahrplaninfo.zvv.ch/showpdf.php?pdf=pdf/41/ah_41813a/ah_41813a_j09_a_01564.pdf
and imported it using openoffice.org-pdfimport

I notice some differences to when the file is viewed in evince, which I think
looks right:

1. In the top left a black square is shown where evince shows a white bus
pictogram within the black square.

2. Right next to the black square I see the number 813 aligned on the bottom
with the black square. evince shows the number at mid height within a rectangle,
which was not drawn in the imported file.

3. Top middle of the page there is a VZO Logo which evince shows as the three
letters VZO in the colors red, blue and green and a small ZVV logo on its top
right. In the imported file the letter O ist hollow instead of green and the ZVV
logo is not seen at all.

If I export the imported file to PDF right after having opened it, the resulting
PDF shows the three differences to the original as mentioned above.

As a side note: The letters VZO are not shown as smoothly as evince shows them,
they are jagged. But if after opening the file I export it to PDF right away,
the resulting PDF viewed in evince shows VZO again smooth. So I consider the
jagged letters not a "real bug".

I found another document which is rendered fine by evince or xpdf but is wrong in openoffice... totally wrong, letters on the second page are scattered over that page and the form on page 1 is broken up too. You can find the document here: http://www.treffpunkt-arbeit.ch/dateien/Formulare/PDF/D/716-007_d.pdf.

Please tell me if you prefer I open a new bug report for this.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19751825/dell440.pdf and http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10237551/OO23%20Windows.pdf show up much better in Oo3 than in Evince. However, both files still have display problems. Some characters are missing. Some characters overlap. Viewing dell440.pdf in Oo3 is very slow.

Hi,

the part j09 in the filename contains the year the bus schedule is valid (that is what the document is) and 09 has gone, now it is 11, thus the new link is http://online.fahrplaninfo.zvv.ch/showpdf.php?pdf=pdf/41/ah_41813a/ah_41813a_j11_a_01564.pdf

To make sure the document will stay available for this bug I attach it too as you requested.

This is not really pertaining to this bug, but I report it in because maybe knowing what is going on with LibreOffice it might help you in fixing it for OpenOffice for Ubuntu:

I currently have no Ubuntu at hand to recreate, but have imported the document in LibreOffice 3.3.2 for Mac OS X [OOO330m19 (Build:202)]. Regarding the bugs I originally reported in this bug, in the LibreOffice mentioned above this has changed:

1. The bus icon is now visible.

2. The number is shown correctly within a rectangle.

3. The letter O is not really hollow, but still wrong. The ring is painted light-blue instead of green. The limits/outlines of the O are in black instead of either green or invisible. Furthermore there is a new bug. The V of VZO is placed wrongly. The vertical position seems correct but the horizontal position is wrong. Instead of being placed left of the Z it is placed between Z and O. On the other hand the ZVV Logo which was missing is now there, so this is fixed.

Also the "non-bug" i.e. the jagged appearance of VZO is gone my LibreOffice for Mac. VZO is shown smoothly as expected.

Unreproducible.

Unreproducible.

Confirmed.

Unreproducible.

As problem 3 was the only thing reproducible, this is what this bug will focus on.

3) What is expected to happen using the libreoffice-pdfimport via the Terminal:

is the O in the VZO logo is displayed green in both files.

4) What happens instead is the O is light blue.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Besides incorrect color, in imported sample document there are one more problem - extra strokes.
This problem was tracked down to this bug and it's solution:

But when I tested PDF from OO bug #109708 and with this lines commented out:
//if(area < minAreaThreshold)
// m_pSink->strokePath(path);
, I found no problems. Maybe that hack is obsolete and can be removed?

And one more question - where this (strokes) problem needs to be discussed?

Hi Vort,
I would just submit a patch and explain the problem in a comment or the commit message.
