Converting ppt to pdf does not show chart

Sample.ppt

I have uploaded the Sample ppt file. Converting the above ppt to pdf does not show graph.
Ex: if I open with Document Viewer the image does not show. Even in Adobe the graph image is not shown.
if I open with libreoffice draw the image shows in pdf.
Below is the command used
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir “/home/ubuntu/Desktop/” “/home/ubuntu/Desktop/Sample.ppt”
os: ubuntu 18.04

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sagar.

Looks like the Image Type WMF is not supported, Meaning LO does not know how to export an wmf file into the pdf.

An simple and easy workaround is to let LO compress it into png or jpeg

  1. Rick Click on the Image and in the submenu select Compress…
  2. Choose your compression type png or jpg

  3. Click OK

Now the Image is replaced with an compressed png or jpg version.

When you now export it as pdf, it will be visible aka. included.

Hope that helps.

I think it is the type/version of wmf that is the problem. LO can handle wmf normally; you can export an image as wmf in Draw. If I open the PPT in MS Powerpoint the fill in the graph is hatched, if I open it in Impress, then the fill is a smooth colour, so LO is not interpreting the wmf correctly.

It looks like you might want to lodge a bug/enhancement
