Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59810
PowerPoint Import: issue with graphics placed outside Impress place space
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
Impress seems to have an internal overflow error when dealing with objects or images that are located far off the edge of the page. In the attached sample files, an image is placed farther and farther off the edge of the page. After it is approximately 55 inches to the right of the page and 42 inches above the page, the image is automatically moved and resized. The new location has one corner of the image at the upper left corner of the page. The new size of the image is a 44.93 inches wide and 54.38 inches high. Attached are copies of the original PowerPoint document, the PowerPoint document converted to Impress, and the PowerPoint document converted to Impress converted back to PowerPoint. Also included are images showing the repositioning and distortion that occur. I believe this is an interoperability defect since I've seen no mention of art board limits in the Impress specifition and PowerPoint handles those distances fine.
Created attachment 32716 [details] original PowerPoint file with images extending far off the page
Created attachment 32717 [details] PowerPoint document converted to Impress
Created attachment 32718 [details] Impress document converted back to PowerPoint
Created attachment 32719 [details] sample image of how the document looks in PowerPoint at 10% zoom
Created attachment 32720 [details] sample image of how the document looks in Impress at 10% zoom
Created attachment 32721 [details] sample image of how the document looks in Impress at 10% zoom with image outlines to show the overlaps
confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo 2.0.1 RC2: set the zoom to ~10% in Impress after opening the PPt and see
One for me
I can reproduce the bug. Please have a look.
AW->SJ: All objects outside the 'Wiese' need to be moved to be completely inside, but without scaling.
AW, What does the term 'wiese' mean in relation to OOo? I haven't been able to find much mention of the term on the OpenOffice.org website or documentation. Is it the size of the page or is it the viewable area outside of the page within a certain range? If an image is outside of the wiese, is the correct action to place the image inside of the wiese as close to the original location as possible? For example, if the wiese is represented as a square on a grid with it's corners at (5,5),(5,-5),(-5,-5),(-5,5) and an object is placed outside of the wiese at (8,3), the object would be relocated to (5,3) so that it is within the wiese boundary. Likwise if an object were at (12,7), the object would be relocated to (5,5) so that it is within the wiese boundary.
accpted. By saying "wiese" aw meant the grey area beside the white page in Impress.
