Libreoffice writer cannot export images into a pdf after an update

  • 772

I have a odf document containing various images: jpg and png mostly.

When I export it to pdf, in the resulting pdf file I can't see any picture but only the text.

Any idea why? Oh and I think it stopped working after a general ubuntu 20.04 update that I performed.

The version of the writer in 7.2

Thanks

20.04

  1. This may be an issue with the LibreOffice snap (I am guessing it is the snap package, because the LibreOffice Fresh PPA is still at version 7.1 as of today, and Ubuntu 20.04 has LibreOffice 6.4 in the repositories). I suggest you to use the LibreOffice PPA instead. It would eventually be updated to version 7.2.

    First remove the LibreOffice snap with

    sudo snap remove libreoffice

    You can install version 6.4 with

    sudo apt install libreoffice

    If you want the latest version,then install LibreOffice from the official PPA. Right now it hosts version 7.1, but it would be updated soon.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libreoffice
sudo apt install upgrade
