Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 98599
PDF/A export produces always invalid PDF files
Last modified: 2009-11-09 14:55:00 UTC
The PDF/A export produces always invalid PDF files. - Just use an arbitrary document (for example the attached test.odt, which is just an empty text document). - File/Export as PDF - Choose PDF/A as format (see screenshots) - You get a PDF file (test.pdf) - Open this file with Adobe Reader. You get an error message: "There was an error processing a page. Invalid ColorSpace." See Adobe_reader.png. (I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1.3 under Linux, but I've tested the PDF also in Windows: same error message.)

I checked with "Ooo 3.0.0 (DE) Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m9 (Build9358)]" and can confirm the reported effect. I tried with attached sample document and settings due to screenshots. PDF export was perfect. I can confirm the reported error message in Acrobat Reader for attached sample document "test.pdf". timi_openoffice: Please contribute information concerning your LINUX version! From what source did you get your OpenOffice.org?
cannot confirm on linux or mac, neither in 3.0 nor in 3.1. @rainerbielefeld: you say you can confirm on windows ?
@pl: No, I only see the message opening "test.pdf", but I can not create an own damaged .pdf from "test.odt" or completely new own document.
ok, just wanted to clarify. Same for me. I have not found the error in the file yet, but will continue to look.
The bad .pdf file was produced using openSUSE 11.1. The OOo packages are the normal packages coming on the openSUSE 11.1 DVD (no extra repositories). The attached screenshot (ooo_version.png) shows the version info of OOo.

the test.pdf file appended showing the error indeed has a different ICC color space definition file. Since that is compiled in, it must be a problem of go-oo itself or probably its patch level. I know beppec changed the output once, perhaps go-oo didn't take that change. Or they changed the ICC profile for their build. @thb: care about PDF export for go-oo ?
Cannot confirm the issue in OOo 3.0.1. Test carried out in Debian lenny, used Acrobat reader 8.1.3 to test. At a quick analysis it seems that the test.pdf file attached to #desc3 has a ICC color profile with a different content then the standard one provided with vanilla OOo.
@pl: you bet! ;) Closing as invalid here, filed for opensuse as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470804

I can confirm this issue.

I can confirm this on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid, OOo version 2.4.1, x86_64. The PDF/A could not be opened with Acrobat Reader 8.1 and 9 while the normal PDF can. One thing that strikes me: Does anyone with a 32 bit build have this problem? So far I've only seen reports for 64 bit systems.
Hello, This issue affects me on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. Please let me know what sort of debugging info I can provide to help you re-open and resolve this bug.

If you believe this is an issue with acroread under 64bit Linux, could you help me confirm that the generated .pdf files are in fact valid? If I can do that, I can go complain to Adobe about their reader for Linux instead of bothering you here.
Reopening issue. I can now reproduce the bug it with upstream OOo. (The document is Formen.ods) Using OOo 3.1.0 with spanish localization (http://ftp.spnet.net/openoffice/localized/es/3.1.0/OOo_3.1.0_LinuxX86-64_install_es.tar.gz) on Linux (openSUSE 11.2 M7) produces an invalid PDF file when using PDF/A. (see Formen-linux.pdf) Using OOo 3.1.1 with german localization on Windows XP however produces valid PDF for the same document. (Formen-windows.ods) So maybe this is a linux specific problem?

May be this is the same as issue 106523? The problem solved in issue 106523 IMHO should solve the reopening of this issue as well, it was solved for all the 64 bit versions.
Yes, it's the very same. Thanks for pointing that out. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 106523 ***
