This is a regression which didn't exist in LibreOffice 3.3.1 release. It exists in 3.3.2 release version. When a presentation (for example) is exported in PDF format the OLE objects (such as drawings) are not exported in the PDF.
Not reproduce-able on 3.4 rc1 / SLED 11 sp1 i586. Georgy, would you attach a sample document as well? Thanks!
Maybe it's fixed in 3.4 ? Can you please test this one and tell me if it works? http://static.slides.bg/example.ppt It has some Visio drawings inside.
NOT reproducible with reporter's sample document, neither with "LibreOffice 3.4.1 RC - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:201) from libreoffice-3-4~2011-07-22_15.35.00_LibO_3.4.2rc1_Win_x86_install_multi.exe]" nor with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.3 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:301 Tag 3.3.3.1)]" @Georgy Angelov: Still a problem for you?
Created attachment 49749 [details] The presentation when opened and seen through LibreOffice's interface. You can see the drawing. I attach an image showing the bug is still there in the linux version of Libreoffice 3.4 . All of the drawings are gone when the presentation is exported in PDF format. Thanks
Not reproducible! Linux + old LibO only? @georgyangelov Anything with your Export or Print settings? Your exact OS version?
The LibreOffice version is 3.4.1 downloaded from libreoffice.org (deb packages). The Linux OSs I tested with are Debian Squeeze (fully updated from stable) and Linux Mint Debian Edition (updates from Debian testing repos). The screenshot is from Mint in my virtual box. The Debian is not a virtual machine and has no graphical environment I can show. I'm using the default PDF export settings. Is there anything that's not checked as default and should be for this to work? If that's the case how can I change it without GUI ? What is the Linux OS you are trying to reproduce it on? Maybe something's wrong with the distribution (old package that LibO depends on?) Thanks
(In reply to comment #6) > What is the Linux OS you are trying to reproduce it on? See Comment 1!
I installed Libreoffice 3.4.3 on a fresh Debian 6 and the problem is still there. I tested on windows and there's no problem in the windows version. So it's linux-only problem. Please look into this

needinfo keyword redundant by needinfo status.
confirmed in 3.5.0rc1
Created attachment 55935 [details] screen shot showing PDF (left) and file in 3.5.0 Impress
Created attachment 66955 [details] Source document with two embedded OLE objects
Created attachment 66956 [details] Generated pdf
Created attachment 66990 [details] Screenshot showing the doc in libreoffice and the pdf in evince
Added another testcase where libreoffice displays embedded objects, but they are not visible in the exported PDF.
Version 3.6.2 also affected by this bug. Neither export pdf or print file shows ole objects
Update: OLE object is printed, but with the wrong scale. Not showed in pdf.
Libreoffice 3.6.6 on Ubuntu 12.10 Problem still persists with OLE not exported to PDF and OLE not printing scale to scale in odt document.
just FYI, install libreoffice-common will solve this issue.. but creates another issue of size.
Seems to be corrected with 4.0.4+ (Win7). however there is a scaling problem unless you check 'Object/Type/Keep ratio' for the OLE properties
in 4.1.2.3 I see ole-objects exported to PDF So set to works for me: has been fixed, but we do not know how, when by whom..
It's still bothering me with LibreOffice v5.0.3.2. With a writer document including many OLE objects, exported PDf doesn't show several objects. "Print" > "Save as PDF" generates correct PDF with all objects. The quality is very lower, though.
