[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 94054] New: Page Watermaker EPS not working

[b***@bugs.documentfoundation.org]

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94054

Bug ID: 94054
Summary: Page Watermaker EPS not working
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com

With the latest two version of LibreOffice, I can't print or export to pdf an
EPS file set as watermark on the page. The watermarks is visible on the screen
but when I print or export the file, the watermark is substitute with this:

Title:Watermark.eps
Creator:Adobe Illustrator(R) 16.2

I tried this with two different EPS watermark and the result are the same.

The watermark is set from menu Format > Page > Area > Fill > Bitmap

Thanks for your support
GianBeOS

Confirming on

Version: 4.4.5.2
Build ID: a22f674fd25a3b6f45bdebf25400ed2adff0ff99
Locale: fr.UTF-8
OSX 10.10.5

Note that in LO5.x, the button to add images other than the default provided
bitmaps has disappeared, this is a separate (known) bug, so at present this can
only be tested with a Writer document already containing an EPS image set as
page background (attached).

Suspect that error means that you do not have valid path to either of the
"helper" files that LibreOffice uses to render EPS to vector or bitmap.

pstoedit or convert (from Imagemagick)

Believe your EPS has a preview--that is what you see when the document is open.
But when printed or exported to PDF LibreOffice has no way to handle the EPS,
and you get the error.

Do things improve (or simply change) if you install pstoedit and/or
Imagemagick? Available from Fink, MacPorts or MacAppStore

Unfortunately, once installed you may end up with issue of bug 81497 --
PRINTING: to PDF with Adobe Distiller or GS based PDF printer, EPS images not
rendered to PS vector for PDF, instead print uses the preview of EPS image.

But let us know.

The problem persist also with ImageMagick installed (binary in /usr/local/bin
and included on PATH variable).

OK, would you please confirm what happens when you open a terminal and enter
"convert -version"

Do you get this message or similar?

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
