Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59436
tif file contents not displayed
Last modified: 2014-11-06 15:39:08 UTC
When .tif file that is created by digital copy machine and sent as E-mail attachment is opened in draw it does display only bank page though the same file when opened by faxviewing software does have three pages. When the sma e file is Inserted as Picture/from file in Writer it displays correctly the firts page but not other two. I suppose rading tags with number of pages and compression is not correct. The same file is openned correctly By ImageMagick and Faxviewer. Thanks, Vedran Vucic
@vvucic: Pls. attach your tif!
Created attachment 32496 [details] .tif file
I checked with "2.0.1 RC4 German version WIN XP: [680m145(Build8989)]" and can confirm the problem. If I insert attached tif in a DRAW page, I only see a completely transparent object. When I change object to "Meta File", content becomes visible. Same result if I open "0175_001.tif" directly from WIN-Explorer with OOo. Also checked with "1.1.4 (German) WIN XP: [645m52 (Build 8824)]", there it works without problem. If I copy-paste the image from Corel Draw, the content is visible in OOo. Irfan View told me "This is not a valid TIFF file". WIN fax-viewer also shows transparent object. Strange: Gimp 2.2 shows a hand written number "3" instead of the hand written n umber "1" I see with all other applications. Seems to be a strange tif.
.tif file that I sent is file created by digital copy machine that is capable of sending faxes over Internet. Such a .tif file is normally displayed by Faxviewer software in GNU/Linux. But, oodraw does not display it at all, and oowrite displays usually only first page. Thus, it i snot strange file, I think that oodraw and oowrite do not read properly tags that say that file is compressed as usually fax .tif files are and that there is tag which says that it is multi-page file. I suppose that this is the point with Gimp and oowriter and oodraw. Thanks, vedran
The file that I sent does have three pages and on each is handwritten number 1, 2 or 3 respectively. Thus, number you see is actually the page of file. Thanks, vedran
We should show the first page at least...
I am pretty sure that that's the same prolbem as in STARTED issue 9193. Can someone please check and decide which one should DUP of which other one?
