Description ajorge 2003-09-15 22:13:50 UTC 
If I convert an EPS file to EMF using Adobe Illustrator so I can import it into
OOo and then convert the document to PDF the graphic comes out looking funny,
like there are no curves, only straight edges.

The same EPS file converted by Illustrator to WMF works fine. The same EPS
converted to EMF by pstoedit seems to work just fine, so this may be considered
a bug in Illustrator, but I don't think so because OOo renders the EMF just fine
either way.

Comment 4 ajorge 2003-09-15 22:28:34 UTC 
I've noticed that the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" says that the
resolution of the EMF file is 420x501 while the WMF is 1250x1472.
However since they are a vector format and OOo renders them as such
I'd expect the PDF export to render them the same way, with as little
loss as possible.

Perhaps the resolution is being used to define the frequency of
control points?

cp->pl: hard to say what might be the reason for this. please have a
look / dispatch.
Comment 6 philipp.lohmann 2003-10-06 11:58:52 UTC 
pl->sj: seems to be a filter problem to me; if emf is not yours,
please dispatch further.

Hi Thorsten,
Can you please takeover this bug.
Comment 8 thb 2003-10-17 16:11:44 UTC 
Can confirm the problem. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the PDF
writer, which fails to write bezier curves. Instead, only the control
polygon is exported.
Comment 9 thb 2003-10-17 16:13:25 UTC 
Philipp, back to you, please have a look.
Comment 10 philipp.lohmann 2003-10-17 16:22:32 UTC 
The reason seems to be that PDFWriter does not write Polygons with
Bezier curves. Oops, my fault after all.
