[dampolux]

Hi,

I have a problem using unoconv with libreoffice, in .xls/.xlsx conversion.

Every documents in landscape are convert in pdf in portrait mode.

It s a real pb for me cause i really can t show an half graphic in my first pdf page.

Thx for your help,

Dam

A few questions for you:

• Are you sure the page format of the document is in fact in landscape ?
• If you open the document in LibreOffice, and then save it to pdf (using the direct PDF button) does this happen too ?
• What version of unoconv and LibreOffice are you using ?
• What is your distribution ?

We are contemplating allowing people to write small conversion-scriptlets that modify a document during conversion, which could be a way to force this for you. However, in this case it ought to work if the page format says landscape, the PDF should be landscape. If not, it might be a LibreOffice bug or a unoconv bug.

If you can share a document so I can reproduce it, that would be appreciated.

Hello and thank you for your answer, I couldn t post before.

I m sure the document is in landscape (In excel i have no pb with pdf conversion or print).
I can t open documlents in libreofice causei can't install graphic interface on this environnement, so i can t test it.
My libreoffice's version is :

libreoffice:
Installé : 1:3.5.4-7~bpo60+1

And my version of unoconv is :

unoconv:
Installé : 0.3-6

I work on a Debian Isp config, based on a Debian 6.0.5

How can I send you a document who don t match? By mail or by an other way?

Thank you ,

Damien,

unoconv 0.3 was released on 31/08/2007, that's more than 5 years ago. We are at release 0.6 with many important changes. I don't know why part of our users insist on using a release that is known to be broken in various ways but I do not plan to support it. So I am closing this issue, feel free to reopen when this issue is still a problem on v0.6.

I already test the 0.6 version but i had no changes with it, that s why i let the 0.3.6 version on my server.

I re-install the 0.6 version and i give you a feedback
