Description gogoib 2010-05-07 07:44:37 UTC 
On inserting a pdf document to an odt document as OLE object and 
selecting "Display as Icon" option, the icon does not appear in the dialog box 
and also in the document. In place of the icon, text "Adobe Acrobat Document" 
is displayed. The pdf document opens up on clicking on this text. My users need 
this icon as it looks unprofesional without the icon.

First, I cannot confirm this - it works fine on my XP prof and Win7.
Second, the dialog used for inserting "as Icon" is taken from the system, it is
not an OOo-dialog. It looks that this dialog is broken on your system.
Comment 3 michael.ruess 2010-05-07 10:16:58 UTC 
Closed, a problem with the mentioned dialog cannot be fixed by us.
Comment 4 gogoib 2010-05-07 10:27:52 UTC 
mru, thanks for the attention. You have closed the issue only considering the
dialog box. What about the icon not appearing in the document? I have been
promoting OOO in my office as a replacement of MS Office and this issue is
coming as a show stopper for me. I can't take it that the installation on all
the machines in my network are broken. The icon is not appearing on any of the
XP boxes that I have. Request you to spend some more time before closing the issue.

Thank you so much

To add one more piece of information, MS Word is showing pdf icons correctly on
the same set of systems (for pdf documents embedded in .doc files).
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2010-05-07 11:08:21 UTC 
I have checked it on three different Windows systems and all showed the icons
correctly in the dialog AND in the document. I can't tell you why the
association between PDF document and icon does not work on your system. MS Word
uses its own dialog for this, so it cannot be compared to OOo in this point. You
could check if it works with Wordpad - this uses also the system's dialog.
Comment 7 gogoib 2010-05-07 14:04:17 UTC 
mru, wordpad is also not showing the icon. Any suggestion?
Comment 8 eric.savary 2010-05-07 14:13:09 UTC 
Yes, your system didn't register those icons correctly.
Ask for help at for help in the Microsoft or Adobe (?) support forums
