Description Ranieri Mazili 2013-07-12 12:07:19 UTC 
Hi, 

you can see more details, examples of how to reproduce and print screen here: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/20111/converting-files-using-soffice-convert-to-with-embedded-images-html-to-doc/

Resuming, if you have an embedded image (base64 using the img tag) in the html and then try to convert this file to a doc or pdf using the command line: soffice -headless -convert-to doc test.html

the doc file generated doesn't have the embedded image and left just a blank space where the image should be.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

Set status to NEW, version to v4.0.3.3, and platform to All as I can confirm this under GNU/Linux Crunchbang 11 x86-64 running TDF/LO v4.0.3.3. For the sake of simplicity an example file can be found here:

I've got the same problem (no picture, just spaces in the document) when I convert from html to docx with images linked (e.g. <img src="http://ww.xx.yy/aze.png"/>).

Context : Gnu/Linux Debian 7.2 / LibreOffice 3.5.
I tested all theses filters, without success :
:writer_OOXML =invalid document*,
:"Office Open XML Text" =no image,
:"MS Word 2007 XML" =no image,
:"MS Word 97" = invalid document*.

*the file contains HTML text !

No problem to convert to .doc, .pdf or .odt.

Hello to everyone!
Converting html with embedded images still doesn't work.
LibreOffice 4.2.2 (release at the moment)
OS: Windows 7, GNU/Linux i686 i386

Converting doesn't work for both linked images (like  <img src="http://ww.xx.yy/aze.png"/>) and for base64 encoded images.
Everytime I get ton of symbols and broken images.
Are there any updates?

Hi,

This really sounds like an important issue as it produces completely junk output and breaks potentially very important features from using LibreOffice. 

Any update? Any idea of a direction where to dig? 

Thanks in advance
