Can you try the adding the following repo and install the OOo packages from here and see if you can still reproduce the issue? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10... If your able to reproduce the issue with these packages, could you provide some additional information like which desktop environment you are using (ie KDE / GNOME), where your exporting the PDF to, what OOo packages you have installed (rpm -qa|grep -i openoffice), etc? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sub SaveAsPDF( cFile ) cURL = ConvertToURL( cFile ) ' Open the document. Just blindly assume that the document ' is of a type that OOo will correctly recognize and open ' without specifying an import filter. oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( cURL, "_blank", 0, _ Array(MakePropertyValue( "Hidden", True ),)) cFile = Left( cFile, Len( cFile ) - 4 ) + ".pdf" cURL = ConvertToURL( cFile ) ' Save the document using a filter. oDoc.storeToURL( cURL, Array(_ MakePropertyValue( "FilterName", "writer_pdf_Export" ),) oDoc.close( True ) End Sub Function MakePropertyValue( Optional cName As String, Optional uValue ) _ As com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue Dim oPropertyValue As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue If Not IsMissing( cName ) Then oPropertyValue.Name = cName EndIf If Not IsMissing( uValue ) Then oPropertyValue.Value = uValue EndIf MakePropertyValue() = oPropertyValue End Function - Now close all of the oowriter windows - From the command line change into the directory where the file exists that your interested in converting and run the following commands: FILENAME=<put the name of the file here> $(which soffice) "macro:///Standard.Module1.SaveAsPDF($FILENAME)" Which in my test case the command looked like this FILENAME=$PWD/Cue\ Cards_Chinese\ Trad_zh_TW.doc $(which soffice) "macro:///Standard.Module1.SaveAsPDF($FILENAME)" NOTE= $PWD just returns the full path of the working directory. I believe the macro needs a complete path to the filename in order to work correctly. - At this point you should now have an exported pdf in the same directory as the original file. If you don't want any GUI to appear at all when running the macro add the following switch to the command line: $(which soffice) --invisible "macro:///Standard.Module1.SaveAsPDF($FILENAME)" Keep in mind that this process will then run in the background. You can check on the process by doing "ps aux|grep -i soffice". Once the process has completed, the pdf will be produced. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
