Description Unknown 2003-03-07 00:41:00 UTC 
serious problem where export ppt to svg in either regulat UI or in API cause OO
to abort.

not sure what type of ppt content produces this problem, but i have captured 3
samples slides which i will attach. 

i am developing a generic tool which uses a java servlet connecting to 
the OO api to perform conversions of ppt files to svg files (one svg 
file for each page in the ppt file).  this code is based on 
GraphicsExportDemo.java 
(http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/devmanual/Drawing/samples/Attic/GraphicExportDemo.java)

and works well.  however some ppt files will not convert.  they yield 
the following error:

"Invalid charcter during XML-Export"
("charcter" is spelled this way)

the same misbehaving ppt file can not be exported from the regular OO 
user interface.  the ppt file will open, but then on export causes OO to 
abort (on both winxp and linux).

looking for methods to debug export errors.
does OO have a log file somewhere?
is there a way to enable logging to get closer to the root cause of what 
type of content in ppt files cause this export error?

THANKS!

I could reproduce the bug. The office is crashing if exporting page 2
and 3 to svg. I also noticed that there is a wrong character imported
in the title object, possible this is the reason for the gpf.
