Tom,

Once I understand better where the issue is coming from, it will be reasonable to ask them look at the code for the
possible bug. But I am not certain where the issue is coming from yet.

For manipulating the PNG and SVG to PDF, that was a nice tip, but it seems not quite meeting what I need. The initial reason for this posting was to find out whether the LibreOffice with 'pdfimport' extension allows to edit the PDF file
or not. This rendering issue, however, is blocking the path.

I need to think about the alternatives. THANK YOU MUCH.

Best regards,


Pae

Hi :)
I have a feeling that it's worth posting a bug-report or 2 about this issue.  I would post one 
here.  This guide might help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
but i think the problem might be with the way the pdfs are generated in MuseScore so i would post a 
bug-report with them too.
http://musescore.org/node/77

Both guides suggest posting a question in the relevant forum first.  If you could give us a link to 
the question you asked in their forum that might help.  Also they might find it useful to have a 
link to this thread in the question there.  I would copy  the Nabble link to them
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fw-Re-libreoffice-users-PDF-Import-LibreOffice-extension-for-importing-PDF-documents-pdfimport-td3503557.html

Likewise when you post a bug-report there and here it's good to give links so that people working in one project can easily have a look at what their counter-parts are doing in the other project.

Hmm, just a thought but once you have an svg or png you could open a new Draw document and drop the picture into it and then export that as Pdf. When i do that i find the picture is not the same size as the A4 page so i use the "handles" at the corners of the picture to stretch it to fill (or almost fill) the page. My printer always gives a 5mm blank area around the edges of pages so i don't always make the picture fully fit the page unless i want the edges trimmed off.
Don't worry about the ettiquette issue.  All forums and mailing lists have their own quirks and we 
often only  find what they are by trial-and-error.  You are not the first and unlikely to be the 
last person that falls into that one.  Actually i think that particular quirk is shared by quite a 
lot of forums and mailing-lists so it's a good one to learn about early on.  Still a lot of people 
forget.  It wasn't a lot of extra work for me to fix.  I think 3 clicks and a drag instead of 1 
[shrugs].  I've known worse! ;)

Sorry such a long post!
Regards from
Tom :)

MAS and Tom,

Thank you for the prompt replies. Tom, My apologies for inappropriately
creating a new thread by using "Reply" method which caused the
inconvenience as well as extra toil. And addition thanks for the effort
and educating me.

The SVG and PNG are fine for me, but the PDF is a part of the
requirements (which are out of my control) I am working on at present.

Best regards,


Pae

Hi :)
Errr, when posting a new question to the lists here please start a new email and use copy&paste to put the address into 
the "To" field.  Taking an existing thread and doing "Reply to" and just changing the subject-line 
doesn't create a new thread.  I have forwarded teh mail to the list to break it out of the old thread and createa  new one 
so it's ok now.  Sorry about this not working intuitively!  :(

I have just been looking at the
http://musescore.org/en/handbook/file-format
website.  It looks as though saving as png or svg might get the results you want more effectively.  
Not all systems can cope with svg (scalar vector graphics) yet but png seems to work everywhere and 
should be reasonably easy to print.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
Is this something to do with missing or unavailable fonts?  Could it be that musescore uses a font 
that is not available to the rest of the system?

Is it possible to generate a pdf from musescore by asking it to print-to-file and then get it to 
use pdf instead of ps?  I think that is a way of getting the fonts to be embedded in the pdf itself.
Regards from
Tom :)

I brought up
    the question a few days again. I was told this is
extension was designed by a third party.  The current version was
designed for oO and not libreoffice

It seems like there is an issue using pdfimport extension with LibreOffice.
When importing a simple PDF file it
seems ok means visible, but not 100% identical as advertised. It even got
worse when opening a PDF file generate
by MuseScore, http://musescore.org/. For example, the followin step will
reproduce the case:

1. Lauch ther MuseScore which open a sample sheet music.
2. Save it by "File ->   Save As ..." which gives you an option to select the
format at the bottom right right
    above
     Cancel and Save buttons.
3. Select "PDF File" format and click Save button. (When saving it you may
need to change the file extension with
     ".pdf", not ".mscz")
4. Open the saved PDF file with your PDF viewer which should show identical
as shown in the MuseScore window.
5. Open the same PDF file with LibreOffice, there are lot of missing notes
and garbled font something not recognizable.

It is known that the OpenOffice is handed to Apache and is in midst of
transitional phase. And the pdfimport package
seems about same in a functional aspect in both OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

Is the pdfimport too early for the prime time? Who's maintaining the source
code?
