PDF File converted with LibreOffice 4.2

1. Files converted to PDF from Writer in LibreOffice 3.57 (from Ubuntu PPA) were useable by PDFShuffler 0.60. 
2. After upgrade to LibreOffice 4.2, the new PDF files cause PDFShuffler to freeze. 
3. Older converted 3.57 files are useable (work well) but newer files don't load (freezing issue)

Current behavior:

I uninstalled LibreOffice 4.2 and switched back to 3.57. Now, new PDF files converted with re-installed 3.57 do not work with PDFShuffler (freeze issues) 

Expected behavior: LibreOffice PDF files should work with PDFShuffler

So you were using Ubuntu PPA builds on Debian and have issues in a third party app (PDFShuffler). This is a/ not exactly a supported scenario b/ might just as well be a bug in the third party app. Closing as NOTOURBUG for now.

For a/ please use at least a build intended for the platform, e.g.:
- Debian builds from unstable/experimental/whatever
- Ubuntu builds on the corresponding Ubuntu release
- or a TDF build

For b/ please tell us how this is illegal PDF or at least broken on mainstream viewers (evince, acroread) even if it legal.

Note that pdf generation depends on third party libs like poppler too.

Thanks for your understanding.
