Here is a small file for org mode

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil

* hello

If I export to odt and then upload the odt to google docs, google-docs says
the file is corrupt.
It seems to make a difference whether the EOF is immediately at the end of
"hello" or after a newline -- though not sure.
As far as I can see files made directly by/in libreoffice upload to
google-docs without any problem
org: 7.7
emacs 23.3.1

Can you send me this odt file either on or off the list?
Please make sure that the document is not resaved from Libreoffice -
this is because LibreOffice rewrites XML if resaved. So send the file as
soon as it is exported out of org-odt.
What is the org-version? Are you exporting with a minimal emacs? Just
to be sure it has nothing to do with your local configuration.
You may want to check for corruption using the instructions here. (I
think the ODF validator has moved elsewhere lately)
,----
| LibreOffice reports corrupt documents when the XML emitted by the

| 1. Use an Online validator
| Pass the exported document through the [[http://tools.services.openoffice.org/odfvalidator/][ODF Validator]] and note
| down the errors.
|
| 2. Use Emacs' in-built validator. Immediately after exporting
| 1) C-x b test.odt
| 2) Open the `content.xml' file by hitting RET on it
| 3) Do M-x rng-first-error
| 4) Note the error message, the XML markup at the point of error
| and the surrounding context.

On my local machine I am seeing that the exported file is valid and
opens fine with LibreOffice-3.4 without any issues.
I haven't experimented with Google docs.

Make sure that org-odt is new. Older versions of org-odt did have some
corruption issues.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

I can replicate this. The odt file exported by org-odt is not accepted
by google docs even though libreoffice opens it without problems.
However it I open it with libreoffice and say edit and save, google
docs then accepts the new file.
I have attached both odt files along with the org file.
PS: tested with minimal Emacs 24 and org release_7.7-543-g176ddba

With my some experimentation, I am able to reproduce it now. I have this
in my .emacs.
,----
| (setq org-export-odt-prettify-xml t)
`----
and it was preventing me to "see" the problem in the first place.
The above variable is a custom variable and when it is true, the
exporter runs indent-region on all xml files that is part of the final
odt file. The default setting of this variable if off, btw, (as
otherwise it could slow things down for large exported files.)
Since I often have to examine the xml, I have this variable on.
This setting helps exporting to google directly i.e., I don't have to
edit and resave the file for succesful loading, as Suvayu is suggesting.
Indentation only makes whitespace changes and it shouldn't affect how
XML files are read in. So, I am unable to explain why Google accepts the
indented XML file and not the original one.
Anyways turn that variable on and let me know what you see.
ps: It seems like there is a bug on Google side of things. Since it only
says the file is corrupt and not what the *actual* corruption is I am
out of my wits. So basically I am shooting in the dark ...
Thanks for helping out here. May be as time progresses an understanding
will emerge.

I can confirm, using this setting generates an odt file which google
docs can read without any need for "editing and saving". The file is
attached in case you wanted to see it.

Seems to fix the problem - Thanks.
[As a programmer you do not like the 'fix' -- thats another matter :-) ]
