Created attachment 1580550 [details] test file which can be used to reproduce the bug easily Somehow LibreOffice Writer does not export hybrid PDFs correctly when PDF/A-1a was selected (or it does not open them correctly). Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a document in LibreOffice Writer 2. File -> Export as... -> Export as PDF (roughly translated from German) 3. check "Hybrid-PDF" AND "PDF/A-1a (ISO 19005-1)" 4. export file 5. open created PDF file in writer (I'll attach a test file so you can skip steps 1-4.) Actual Results: Writer displays the PDF as text: > %PDF-1.4 > %äüöß > 2 0 obj > <</Length 3 0 R/Filter/FlateDecode>> > stream ... Expected Results: Actual LibreOffice document can be edited with all previous formatting. Reproducible: Always Version: libreoffice-writer-6.2.4.2-2.fc30.x86_64 Additional Info: This seems to be a Fedora-specific bug. I installed the LibreOffice flatpak from Flathub (version 6.2.4.2, Build-ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64) and that version works as expected. This bug also occurred on Fedora 29 with LibreOffice 6.1.5.2. Initially I assumed this was a problem in LibreOffice 6.1 (hence my upstream bug report https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123993) but even Fedora's LibreOffice 6.2 contains the bug.
Just to clarify: I resolved the upstream bug as WORKSFORME after I noticed that upstream's flatpak version worked fine. However the Fedora version still does not work (even after the version upgrade to 6.2) so I think something is wrong specifically with the Fedora builds (maybe a bug in some linked library?).
hmm, what is the output of... rpm -q libreoffice-pdfimport ?
spot on - libreoffice-pdfimport was not installed. After the installation everything works. I'm curious if this is something which should be fixed in LibreOffice (e.g. rejecting to open PDF files if pdfimport is not installed)?
I wonder if we should just accept that writer, impress etc should all depend on that pdfimport rpm due to the hybrid feature. That's probably the simplest thing to do and would mean this problem doesn't arise.
Lets do that in >= libreoffice-6.2.4.2-4.fc30 so this can't happen again
