Java PDF conversion issue

Hi,
I've an issue when a try to convert an ODT file to PDF.
What happens is that, when the text spans across two pages part of it goes hidden by the header logo.
Here my java snippet code:
Code: Select all
public void convertToPDF(String sourceURL, String destURL, Map<String, Object> properties) throws Exception {
XComponentLoader xComponentLoader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class, this.xDesktop);
XComponent xComponent = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(sourceURL, "_blank", 0,
getPropertyValues(new Property[] { new Property("Hidden", new Boolean(true)) }));
XStorable xStorable = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class, xComponent);
xStorable.storeToURL(destURL,
getPropertyValues(new Property[] { new Property("FilterName", "writer_pdf_Export"),
new Property("FilterData", getPropertyValues(properties)) }));
xComponent.dispose();
}
Here the odt file:
Here the pdf file:
Has anyone ever seen this behavior?
If anyone knows please help me.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Michele

I do not know Java but you could try File > export as PDF then fill in the options you want and click on export.

/File /Export as PDF worked correctly for me, using "out of the box" settings.

Try without property "Hidden"

With
https://libreoffice.org/ I get a correct PDF with this shell command:
>"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe" --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export File_example.odt

Your files seems genuine. I've deleted them to prevent private data from being shared publicly.
If you need to upload a file, please make sure it does not contain any personal data. Or anonymize it, see

Thank you for your answer, but I need to do it in programmatically in Java.

While you consider how to do this, as a quick workaround, you might drop to a shell from Java and use a command line PDF conversion.

How can I do this? Do you know how to convert an odt to pdf via command line?
Thanks in advance.

Actually they were already totally anonymized.

In his posting of 07 Sept 2019 at 16:39, earlier in this thread, Villeroy gives you the command line.

Yes, I saw it, but it doesn't works with open office but it works just with libreoffice.

Have you tried replacing the libreoffice with openoffice?

What does this mean? What is the command you are running? Is there an error message?

It means that the number of wrong pdf documents created from an odt document, with Libreoffice was higher, instead with OpenOffice is lower. But the problem is present with both the technology.
But I don't understand why the error happens just programmatically and not manually.

I'm having the same problem with LibreOffice on CentOS as well. It's all that is available from yum. I tried to install Open Office the manual way without yum and OO doesn't even do the conversion...no errors either although the soffice program is running headless.
