Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 127627
AOO chokes on importing 24MB .odt document
Last modified: 2018-01-22 19:05:38 UTC
1. The .odt file in question is approximately 24MB in size with some images but all of them are only slightly larger than thumbnail sized. There is some formatting if one refers to headers and footers as formatting. Headers & footers are blank, however. The font is size 12 Times New Roman with sporadic instances of underlining, bolding and italic as well as a few other fonts interspersed throughout the document sparingly. None of this should matter, however, given that the exact same document opens just fine in Windows 7 using the exact same version of AOO. 2. The problem started upon installation of a handful of OS updates but it isn't the kernel as I have tested the doc extensively up to and including using previous kernel versions and uninstalling and then reinstalling AOO. The result is the same: AOO hangs/chokes upon attempting to open the .odt file in question. 3. I am opting not to attach the file in question as it is strictly confidential but it should also be noted that there is no special encryption involved. This is, for all intents and purposes, a plain vanilla .odt file that is 24MB in size. 4. I am of the opinion that with future updates to the OS this issue may or may not be resolved, but for the time being, AOO v.4.1.4 running 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu Linux absolutely chokes on documents over a certain size.
Resize pictures don't mean that pictures will be optimized. Ability to reduce and compress pictures embedded has been reported in issue 15379 You can use PixCompress extension to do it. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 15379 ***
LOL image compression or lack thereof does not appear to be the problem.
Ok then we start over. I do not know what you mean by "but for the time being, AOO v.4.1.4 running 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu Linux absolutely chokes on documents over a certain size" Does the system or open office freeze ( means you cannot do anything. Ctrl+alt+1 does not switch terminal on linux) Is this one sentence the issue? Does this issue apear on other documents as well or you only have one big document and assume it happens to another document? Can you produce a test file where these issue happens (the document needs not to make sense in content)? I assume the size assumption is currently 24MB, when your system starts to choke? Is it important to produce the Document on Windows? Do you know which files has been updated on the OS your issue is happening (I assume Linux)? For us a test case must be reproduceable in order to fix improve code. We need to corner the issue as exact as possible before we start analysing code.
(In reply to Tatha from comment #2) > LOL image compression or lack thereof does not appear to be the problem. Can you provide a sample document? What happens when you increase the "Graphics cache" (Tools|Options...|OpenOffice|Memory) from 20MB to e.g. 200MB?
