Description Kevin Suo 2014-06-23 09:48:25 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice imports pdf file with images in it with very poor quanlity.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached test pdf file in your pdf reader, and observe the image quanlity;
2. Open the test pdf file with libreoffice draw and observe the poor image quanlity.

The test pdf file was scanned from Toshiba scanner. This happens to all sanned pdfs.

I am aware that this may be because libreoffice is reducing the image resolution to make it faster to load pdf files, but anyway it should not make the pdf un-readable (and importing large pdf with many images in it is always slow and may cause libreoffice crash sometimes, which is another bug).

OS: Windows XP SP3
Version: 4.3.0.1, 4.2.5.2

Comment 2 Firas Hanife 2014-06-23 13:45:05 UTC
Reproduced with 4.2.4.2, 4.2.5.2 and 4.3.0.1 on openSUSE.
The issue is not present on 4.1.6.2.

Basically to avoid this issue it is needed to change View > Color/Greyscale > Grayscale.
The image included in the PDF is scanned as black & white.

Changing Status to NEW and updating affected LibreOffice Version.

bibisected as deep as possible. I skipped some commits as the pdf's background was black:

There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test.

Image extracted from test pdf

This is not a problem with PDF import.
If you drag this image into empty LO.Draw document, you will see the same effect.
---
And image is not damaged. Zoom in and you will see. It is just bad resampling.

(In reply to vvort from comment #5)
Yes you are correct. I revised the Summay accordingly.
Comment 7 Matthew Francis 2014-12-29 13:49:00 UTC
This bug has been bibisected but apparently not yet source bisected. Adjusting Whiteboard and Keywords to suit.
