Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download http://www.compostri.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Distribution-compost-A46.pdf
2. Open it using libreoffice : #libreoffice Distribution-compost-A46.pdf
3. Insert the attached image
4. Try to export to PDF to the same file => KO
A OK popup displaying following message appears:

"Error saving the document Distribution-compost-A46.pdf:
General Error.
General input/output error."

And the following message is displayed only once for all attempt:

func=xmlSecCheckVersionExt:file=xmlsec.c:line=188:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=19:invalid version:mode=abi compatible;expected minor version=2;real minor version=2;expected subminor version=25;real subminor version=26



Additional info:
If I save to .odt and attempt PDF export again, it works.

This apparently was done deliberately in 2007, https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=81437 but without much explanatory notes
Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2019-02-07 10:32:18 UTC 
So, it is possible to change this back, e.g. with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/67491/ but I wonder if that is actually a good idea or not
Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2019-02-07 12:30:08 UTC 
I've reverted the restriction in upstream master to experiment if there was a proper reason for the restriction in the first place
