Recently I wrote a document with writer with a DDE link from calc. At the beginning it was succesfully, I could save the document an re-open it with no problem. Nevertheless if I try to convert it into pdf, the content of the DDE link dissapears.
Yes the content (but not the structure) disappears in the odt file and, of course, does not appears in the pdf file.
It’s an operation I used to do in older versions (4.x, 5.x and 6.x) of LO, but it doesn’t work properly with the 7.x series. and I don’t know why.
In example:
Make any spreadsheet with Calc and insert it as DDE link into a Writer document. Save everything.
If you open the Writer doc, you’ll see that the DDE link works fine and you can see every data you wrote down.
Now, if you try to convert the Writer doc into pdf, You will see how the data of the table you have just created saved have disappeared in the writer document and, of course, they doesn’t appear in the pdf document, where you just can see the structure of an empty table.
Thanks
