Description: user request: to embed one of more PDF files in one odt file. So that the PDF(s) are displayed as hyperlinks (or icon's) and after clicking the hyperlinks the PDF reader of the operating system opens the "embedded" PDF document. This way the embedded PDF files stays with the document, and you solve the problem of broken network links, for example when a network linked PDF files get renamed or removed. Of course this means that the odt file will be bigger in size. When I tried the import OLE object approach, it didn't work, after importing an PDF file, when clicking on the OLE icon I got the following error: Error with activating object General error. General input/output error. General OLE error There please consider an embed PDF file(s) within the *.odt file document like described above Steps to Reproduce: 1. fix the OLE import function 2. consider a different more easier approach (just embed PDF file(s) with the ODT extension) Actual Results: In 6.1.1.2 LibreOffice Writer - Import Object - OLE Object Select from existing document (I have Dutch version, I translated the Dutch text to English) and select both check marks (select, and show as pictogram) Then browse to an PDF file and add the file, this works, an pictogram is shown in the document,but after clicking the OLE icon These errors are shown: Error with activating object General error. General input/output error. General OLE error Expected Results: Errors: Error with activating object General error. General input/output error. General OLE error Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: the PDF file should be opened, after I double clicked the OLE icon.
Thank you for reporting the bug. > These errors are shown: Error with activating object I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.1.3.2 (x64) Build-ID: 86daf60bf00efa86ad547e59e09d6bb77c699acb CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: after clicking the ole icon, the pdf opens with draw. Please add a detailed description and example files how the bug can be reproduced. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested info is provided.
Created attachment 146815 [details] this is the pdf file that I want to embed
Created attachment 146847 [details] odt with embedded pdf added a simple odt file with an embedded pdf. the pdf file seems to be embedded (converted) as a draw (office:drawing) file. an attempt to include your pdf makes lo freeze.
steps to reproduce: - open new writer document - menu Insert/Object/OLE Object... - (*) Create from file - select attached pdf file [ ] Link to file [X] Dispaly as Icon - freeze Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: f5011d7226060e04e7b92f035f71e285b853712c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
this is a hang, not a crash...
Actually it doesn't hang, it just takes a while to load the document Versión: 6.1.3.2 Id. de compilación: 86daf60bf00efa86ad547e59e09d6bb77c699acb Subprocs. CPU: 1; SO: Windows 6.1; Repres.

(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #6) > Actually it doesn't hang, it just takes a while to load the document yes, after some time, the pdf is included, but it will be converted to draw. a double click opens draw instead of the pdf file.

That's the expected behaviour...
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #9) ouble click opens draw instead of the pdf file. > That's the expected behaviour... yes, but i think the issue writer expected to include the pdf file into an odt file without converting it into a draw object.

It takes 100% of one CPU core in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 94f6765d6ecc3145fa2d266231124003cf953118 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: ru-RU Calc: CL ps: the PDF has many thousands shapes, you can see it in Navigator after open it in Draw from embedded icon And I don't think a PDF converting to a drawing object is a right behavior here
