Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20475
PDF export not fully compatible
Last modified: 2003-11-19 17:56:18 UTC
Using Adobe Reader for Windows, I am able to read all pdf documents exported by Openoffice. However, I am not able to convert those documents to the Palm format using Adobe Reader for Palm. I get the following error from Adobe reader for Palm: "Error converting to tagged PDF: Bad PDF; could not read page structure (bad page contents) .[1] All other PDF documents created by other programs (Acrobat, Ghostview, etc) can be converted to Palm format. Only the PDF documents created by Openoffice have this problem. I have tried different versions of Adobe Reader for Palm and still get the same error. I suspect the PDF export function in Openoffice isn't 100% compatible?
since pdf created by ooo works with almost every pdf-1.4 capable viewer, including but not limited to the Adobe Acrobat Reader family, I'm inclined to believe that ooo pdf is valid. we work on support for more pdf features in the next major release, including structure information, which should make the Palm Reader happy. Unless you have a more specific idea what might be the stumbling stone for the palm reader here we will not dig further into that now *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17335 ***

FYI: we have worked out with Adobe's help what the actual problem is and will build in a workaround for the problem. The new issue for that is issue 22452.
