Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16816
PDF Export: files need to be tagged to be accepted from Acrobat Reader for Palm OS
Last modified: 2004-09-30 19:42:07 UTC
exporting a file to pdf and afterwoods importing in for Acrobat Read for Palm OS runs into an errormessage and aboting of converting process. Repro: Load OpenOffice 1.1 RC, load any text, (should be more than one page), export it as pdf-file. Settings for exporting are not relevant, but should be the whole text. Now switch to "Acrobat Reader for Palm OS" and try add this exported pdf-file to the list of files for the Palm. After adding, there will be a warning that this is not a "tagged" PDF-File. Continue with klicking on the "OK" Button. Immidiatly after there will be an errormessage saying: "error in converting to the tagged pdf-format, pagestructure could not be read" and the converting is aborted. Expect: Full compatible pdf-format which could be used from any other pdf-enabled application, especially from adobe !!
OpenOffice.org provides a fully compatible pdf-format which could be used from any other pdf-enabled application, including but not limited to Adobe. Providing PDF tags is by no means required in the PDF standard, but an optional feature. If "Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS" crashes on reading untagged PDF documents then you may want to consider filing a bug report against it. CP->MMP: Do you take care of PDF RFEs ? Please push this one on the stack for 2.0
this will go into the PDF spec for OOo 2.0
Acrobat reader for palm os consists of two parts: the converter (windows application) and the palm application. It is the converter that shows the problem, and I suspect there actually is a problem with the PDFs generated by OO. No other untagged PDF file that I have come across has shown this error message.
Yes, cf. http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/pdf_export/KickOffOct2003.sxw
FYI: we have worked out with Adobe's help what the actual problem of the palm conversion tool is and will build in a workaround for the problem. The issue for that is issue 22452.
