ODS export - corrupt file

Added by Matthew Leingang almost 6 years ago

Salut,

This is an annoyance that has plagued me since I began using AMC several years ago, but I finally have some time to look into.

Every time I prepare an OpenOffice spreadsheet report (ODS), and open in OpenOffice, I get an error message: "The file '...' is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. OpenOffice.org can try to repair the file. ... Should OpenOffice.org repair the file?"

I choose "Yes" and the file is eventually opened. Then I can save the repaired version.

I have similar problems when I try to read the ODS file in other programs via perl and python libraries. I am guessing there's an error in the ODS Export plugin somewhere.

I tried to compare the ODS files before and after repairing. Each ODS file is a zipped archive. The content.xml files in each are clearly different, but I can't isolate the material differences with the naked eye.

I've attached a small project as a ZIP archive. In exports/ I have both before and after ODS files. Note that I had to delete the processed files in scans/ to keep the zipfile small enough. But the original scanned PDFs are in there.

My LibreOffice 6.0.5.1 does not tell me that the file is corrupted.
Which OpenOffice version do you use?

I have OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 on my machine.

I just installed LibreOffice 6.0.4.2 on my Mac, and it did open without a warning. I don't mind switching to LibreOffice, since it seems to be a much newer application.

I will check if programmatic parsing still fails.
