After spent many days of struggling, finally I built libreoffcie-4.4.0.3 on Arch linux. I run the command line on new built software: soffice --headless --convert-to pdf my.docx (here my.docx is a regular English document with size 19K) my.pdf has been created successfully. but the display in Adobe Reader looks strange: The structure of pdf resembles original docx format. but all characters in pdf are display as [], in Adobe Reader. I did the compare with the libreoffice installed on Mac. Here is the summury: Original file size (.docx) size of pdf after convert (.pdf) using software built on linux box: 19K 8.5K using software installed on Mac: 19K 98K You see that the size after converting using new built was much smaller that the one built from installed software. I used online tool to extract txt from pdf. it consists of only data 'FFFFF...' Any idea how this happened or how to debug the issue? I attached the configuration flags I used to build libreoffice: --without-java --disable-cups --with-doxygen=no --with-build-version="${_LOver} Arch Linux build-${pkgrel}" --with-vendor="Arch Linux" --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-split-app-modules --with-parallelism=${MAKEFLAGS/-j/} --with-system-openssl --enable-fetch-external --enable-verbose --enable-release-build --enable-crashdump --disable-coinmp --disable-avahi --disable-dbus --disable-evolution2 --disable-gio --disable-gnome-vfs --disable-lockdown --disable-odk --dis <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4143069/Screen_Shot_2015-03-12_at_5.png> able-orcus --enable-python=system --disable-scripting-javascript --disable-telepathy --enable-ext-nlpsolver=no --without-fonts --with-system-apr --with-myspell-dicts --with-system-libcmis --with-system-libexttextcat --with-system-orcus --with-system-liblangtag --with-system-jfreereport --without-system-apache-commons --with-system-libatomic-ops --with-system-dicts --with-system-graphite --with-system-glm --with-system-redland --with-system-serf --without-system-npapi-headers --without-system-libgltf --with-system-poppler --without-system-sane --with-system-boost --with-system-icu --with-system-cairo --with-system-libs --with-system-mythes --with-system-headers --with-system-hsqldb --with-alloc=system --with-system-clucene --with-system-jpeg --with-system-lcms2 --with-system-nss --without-krb5 --with-gssapi --with-system-vigra --with-system-odbc --disable-gconf --disable-liblangtag --with-system-liblangtag --disable-postgresql-sdbc --disable-firebird-sdbc --with-system-clucene --with-system-libebook --with-system-libetonyek --with-system-libfreehand --with-system-libcdr --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-gltf --disable-gtk --disable-gstreamer-1-0 --disable-gstreamer-0-10 --enable-hardlink-deliver Thanks ahead for any help -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/pdf-file-consists-of-F-after-convert-from-doc-on-self-built-libreoffice-4-4-0-3-tp4143069.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
