Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I wrote a document in Open Office, then used CUPS to write a PDF file to
my hard drive, then attached that PDF file to a message in gMail
(www.google.com/gmail). The file uploads successfully, and I am able to
download the PDF file again from my gMail 'sent' directory and view it
with the Document Viewer utility. However, when I try to 'view' the file
directly from the gMail website, gMail complains that the document is
damaged.
When I scan an existing printed document using Xsane and save the image
in PDF format, I don't have this problem!
It appears to me that this a disagreement between CUPS and gMail as to
what constitutes a valid PDF file. But Open Office might be a
contributor to the problem. I assume that resolving this bug will
require cooperation from Google.com!
