LibreOffice 兼容链路场景: controlled and traceable delivery
`libreoffice-vsd-pdf` is designed for LibreOffice 兼容链路场景. The focus is consistent readability, version clarity, and rollback-ready traceability rather than one-off conversion speed. Use pilot validation, staged rollout, and anomaly logging to prevent quality drift.
LibreOffice path: golden files, engine version, signed-off deltas
- Curate golden .vsd covering themes, legacy stencils, mixed CJK/Latin, and tangled connectors; baseline PDFs on the production LibreOffice build. Block upgrades until regression passes.
- For each new drawing, diff against baselines for color shifts, z-order, connector routing, and data graphics; acceptable gaps go into a published limitation list, unacceptable ones return to Visio for simplification.
- Tell readers that server-rendered PDF is authoritative; desktop Visio is an editing reference. Comments must cite PDF page and zoom, not “my local Visio looks different.”
VSD to PDF (LibreOffice) FAQ
Connectors and labels shift between Visio and LibreOffice export—why?
Routing and text inset algorithms differ; adjust anchors, elbow points, or label boxes in Visio rather than expecting pixel-perfect Visio mimicry from the server.
Themes look washed or shifted—is that a failed conversion?
Not necessarily—compare to golden tolerances. If brand colors must match exactly, flatten critical fills or attach a color table before exporting for external use.
Shape data and hyperlinks vanish in PDF—whose problem is it?
State up front that PDF emphasizes static layout; interactive fields may drop. If navigation matters, validate links after export or ship an alternate navigation aid.
My newer local LibreOffice differs from production—can I trust it?
Minor bumps still move layout; acceptance must track the registered server build. Local trials are preflight only, not substitutes for production task output and hashes.
Rare glyphs become tofu—fastest mitigation?
Swap to common fonts or rasterize the glyph in Visio, re-export, then revisit licensing—readability beats arguing about a missing font on the server.
