Created attachment 49274
Broken PDF A/1

To reproduce:
* Write something in your document (or don't)
* Click "File" > "Export as PDF..."
* Check "PDF A/1-a" on the first tab
* Click "Export"
* Try opening with Adobe Reader (I'm using version 9).
* Let Reader tell you your document has an "invalid color space"

This bug can be very embarrassing, I, for instance, mostly use Evince which shows the document fine, but sent this document to someone using Adobe Reader which of course wouldn't open it.
This seems to happen in all LibreOffice application.

Can anyone with Mac OS or 32-bit Linux please check?

Testing again with 3.4.2rc2 on Ubuntu, 32-bit. Here, I cannot confirm
this bug when following Aaron's description. As this seems to be 64-bit
related, can anyone test this bug with a 64-bit Linux and LibreOffice
3.4.x? Thanks.

I can reproduce it too, Kubuntu 11.04, 64-Bit. I´m not using the LO-
Version shipped with Kubuntu. I removed this and downloaded the DEB-
installation files.

The PDF fails to open only in Acrobat Reader - Okular, e.g., works fine.
I receive the error message "Falscher Farbraum" what means wrong color
space.

Hi Everyone,

may be this issue is related to this old one
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467181

whose title was "PDF/A export broken - Adobe Acrobat reports Invalid
ColorSpace" and the fix would be the same because it's a new regression?

Hope that help,

Carlo

Seems to be Linux (64bit) specific.

I can confirm the effect with reporter's PDF sample, but without source
document it's useless.

Indeed, might be <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467181>
has come back, but that's not sure.

I believe eit's CONFIRMED by several users

@Aaron Strontsman:
Please contribute complete information concerning your PDF settings and
contribute a text kit (all files zipped into it ) with
- source.odt (as simple as possible)
- exportresult.PDF

That might ease debugging very much.

Do you also see the problem for exports from CALC and DRAW?

Thank you, that was quick.
<http://www.pdf-tools.com> rated LibreOffice3_4_2_340_203_UbuntuLinux64bitmy.pdf as ok, but I can't tell whether it's reliable.

For the one woh needs A/1 this really is a blocker, but I believe only
very few users need that option, so only "Major". I do not see this one
blocking Bug 35673

@Rainer:
* you're (most probably) using 32-bit LibO (on a 64-bit OS) -- so you don't see the bug
* the minimal test case is an empty document (@Guillaume: thanks)
* it happens after deleting LibO profile in vanilla LibO

Thanks a lot.

Arghh, yes! We still do not have a convention that we WIN users using "Builds off the peg" understand. It would be great if you could leave a hint on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ#Bugzilla_HowTos> how to mark "LibO 64 bit builds" unitary and different from "64bit-OS". May be "64bit-build" in the subject line or similar?

This seems spot on; most of the patch introduced as part of the
resolution of the bug you link to is inactivated (detected as trailing
garbage by patch), because a new hunk was inserted incorrectly (stealing
this hunk's "  ***************" marker), in

     Use MSVC settings not just on x86

(in core)

I'm working on it, will commit shortly (after test).

Title:
  [Upstream] pdf export with pdf/a-1a creates problematic pdf

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libreoffice” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  libreoffice-3.4.3, oneiric amd64:

  Exported pdf files cannot be opened with acroread, they work with
  evince.

  This bug is malicious as currently only non oneiric computer users
  cannot open/view my pdf files. There is no acroread now in oneiric
  amd64. This error only occurs when pdf/a-1a is selected on export in
  libreoffice. This error is not present in libreoffice 3.4.3 on
  windows. I selected this option as i had strange looking spacing with
  standard helvetica fonts (maybe another bug, but for now this is more
  important).
