Description Stephen Jones 2020-12-23 05:17:07 UTC
Description:
Apple's Pages has been more than a little ignored for some years and is missing key functionality which means, at least for me, I have to find an alternative.  Libre Office includes a critical function that Pages does not: Setting an individual page to Landscape in a portrait document.

But I want to import my existing 300 page Pages document without going through a conversion to PDF or MS Word.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to import a Pages document
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Its not possible

Expected Results:
Its not possible


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Given the user an option to import a Pages document

Please provide a document showing that importing/opening an Apple pages document does not work. Since there is an input filter "Apple Pages (*.pages)", it is intended functionality (May be you could test by explicitly selecting the input filter  "Apple Pages (*.pages)" when trying to open an Apple pages file).

I'd assume "Expected Results:" should read: LibreOffice opens Apple pages file
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2020-12-23 16:01:02 UTC
@Stephen : please also provide the version of Pages with which the document was last saved, as this can have a bearing on the ability of the import filter to process the file.

imported Pages document is blank

When I saved the document it replaced .pages with .odt

The imported document is empty.

Comment 7 Roman Kuznetsov 2020-12-26 22:50:07 UTC
I confirm in

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 4e63ec27b69fa01ff610c894c9fbf05c377a6179
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.16; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

try open Pages file from attach in LO, you'll get an empty Writer document instead a table with some text

Unfortunately I can't check it in older LO versions here
Comment 8 Roman Kuznetsov 2020-12-26 22:51:21 UTC
I have Pages version 8.1 (6369) here
Comment 9 linus.sturm.github 2024-04-26 21:07:11 UTC
It seems that this problem is related to an old version of a package called 'libetonyek'. See bug 123571. Therefore, I re-open this as this issue obviously hasn't been fixed. Correct me if I've done it wrong, as I'm not very familiar with bug reports.

I opened attachment 168504 [details] in recent LibreOffice, and it showed the content, so this seems fixed, and a duplicate of bug 123571. If you can reproduce a similar issue, please open a new bug report.
