Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92908
PDF Import Beta 0.3.1 ignores transformation matrix on an image
Last modified: 2009-09-08 20:38:07 UTC
The Sun PDF Import extension Beta 0.3.1 Solaris x86 on ooo3.0 Beta 2 Build BEB300_m3 appears to ignore the transformation matrix, when encountering an image in a pdf file, in the attached file Leers.text.pdf, which is in plain ascii, the background image is flipped upside down In the pdf file, in object 2, on line 20 you will find the transformation "842 0 0 -595 0 595 cm" the next line "/X Do" calls object 3, the actual image, in the objects dictionary on line 16 "/Resources << /XObject << /X 3 0 R >> >>" you can see that "/X" actually revers to object 3, thus it appears that the transformation on line 20 is being ignored. There are other things wrong when this file is imported but those are different bugs. The attached file Leers.txt.pdf is a plain ascii file, so you can open it in any text editor.
Created attachment 55853 [details] example pdf with upside down image
Reproducible. Reassigned.
You can find an import in Issue 92919 Shouldn't Component be "extensions"?

Verified fix in CWS pdfextfix02.
Checked fix in DEV300m53 and OOO310m17.
Great to hera that the bug is fixed. But I don't understand "Checked fix in DEV300m53 and OOO310m17.". Were changes in the OOo code neccessary? Do I have to update OOo AND the extension? When will a new extension be released? What version number will it have?
The extension is built together with all milestones, has a similar cycle. Can't tell you, when it will be released, but I think analog to OOo release. I do no think that it is necessary to update OOo also.
@mru: Since OOo 3.1.1 has recently been released can we expect an updated pdf import extension soon?
mru->norbert2: I do not know, best would be to ask the person publishing the extension.
Who is it?
I either did not know, because I tested this as vacation substitute. So I searched for PDF Extension and this is what I got: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/search/node/pdf+import
