Issues Converting to PDF

users
#1

We're using LibreOffice 4.4.1 on a project for DISA and have several cases
where Microsoft Office documents take a very long time to convert to PDF,
and sometimes actually crash the service. We are running in headless mode.
Most of the documents are PPT or PPTX.

We've been given permission to share an example case in hopes that the
community can help us identify what is causing these delays or crashes so we
can better instruct our users.

Is there any other information we can share to help? Can I attach the
example document to an email to this list?

Thank you.

Is there any reason why you are not using the final version in the 4.4
branch (4.4.7.2)?
Maybe the problem is already fixed...

Under which OS (version and architecture) are you having these problems?

You can not attach files to the emails but you can add them to the Nabble
interface to the mailing list
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Issues-Converting-to-PDF-tp4177197.html
Alternatively you can post a link to some ftp server or file sharing host.

Please remember that branch 4.4 has been EOLed on December 31, 2015 so any
fixes will not be incorporated into that branch

Thank you for the information. We will look into running some tests under
4.4.7.2 to see if we get the same results.

We are running under Red Hat version 6.7.
