Thank you for your bug report. The file you provided is not a PDF file, but a postscript file with a .pdf extension. Acroread can only display PDF files, whereas evince is capable of displaying postscript and PDF files. Did you check the "print to file" checkbox when using the cups printer? This setting is quite confusing, because cups-pdf always prints to a file (in a special PDF directory in your home directory), but checking this box leads to saving the job to a file in the postscript format *before it is send to the cups printer*. This is because the cups pdf printer is -- from the point of view of openoffice -- just a normal printer. I think in general, the use of cups-pdf is no longer recommended, openoffice has an "Export to PDF" option in the menu that should work fine.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if this does not solve your issue. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685072 Title: gMail thinks PDF file via CUPS from Open Office is damaged -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
