in writer 5.2 when i copy and paste from a pdf to writer in loses formatting for bold and italics this worked on 5.1 (I just upgraded) i can paste the same text into MS wordpad and see the correct formatting
also when i copy/paste from MS Wordpad to writer 5.2 it loses bold and italics.
I'm seeing this as well in writer 5.2 copying from pdf to writer and from Logos 6 to writer. Also, in these cases Paste Special only gives the option of unformatted text.
with version 5.2.1.2 still broken
i reverted to 5.1.5.2 and pasting with formatting works correctly
It's still broken with 5.2.2.
Created attachment 127786 [details] PDF for testing Copy from this to test.

Hi Buovjaga, I downloaded your pdf file and did a copy paste into a Writer document in 5.2.2.2 and neither the bold nor the italics were preserved.
The thing is, I copied and pasted to LibO 3.6 and it didn't preserve the formatting either. I forgot to test with an older version on Windows. Arch Linux 64-bit Version 3.6.7.2 (Build ID: e183d5b)
on 5.1.5.2 pasting with formatting works correctly i have win 7 64 bit SP1 with updates current i've been using Libre Office for quite a few versions, like all the 4.x ones and 5.0, and never had this problem
Pasting with formatting does not work in 3.5 or 4.4. In Windows, I use SumatraPDF. In Arch Linux, I use Okular. In Ubuntu, I use the default Document viewer. Which PDF viewer do you guys use? Tested on Win 7 with: LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735 Version: 4.4.5.2 Build ID: a22f674fd25a3b6f45bdebf25400ed2adff0ff99 Locale: fi_FI
In Windows (Windows 10 x64) I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (version 2015.017.20053). I also use Logos 6 (a Bible resource program), but that's not for pdf's per se. However, the issue manifests itself the same way when copying from either program into Writer.
Adobe reader DC 2015.017 also the loss of formatting issue happens when i paste from microsoft wordpad to libre writer

Basically the problem is that "Rich Text Format" is not recognized as a valid clipboard format. I have software that only copies "Rich Text Format" data to the clipboard and LO does not enable the Paste option in the versions specified.

Kind of both a bump and a report that this problem still exists in 5.3 alpha (Windows 10; 64-bit)

A fix for this bug should be delivered - cut&paste is a basic functionality. --> It still existists in v5.2.4 As already stated in Bug 104012 - this bug has been "added" in v5.2.x - so the 5.2.x branch is not usable (for me) ... The commit of the bug has already been found - see post #14 ... Is it possible to increase the severity and to fix (uncommit) the root cause?
This bug for me is a real show-stopper, because it prevents the interaction with another software (that I need and cannot modify) that generates text in RTF format and tries to paste it in a Writer document. Please fix
We have an Add-In for Microsoft Office and Libre Office that copies and pastes from our application to the word processor. We use RTF for copy and paste. It stopped working at 5.2+. Our customers want a open source option rather then spending large amounts on Microsoft Word. Please Fix.

Hi Aron, *, What about reverting the problematic commit? There're already 6 duplicates of this and we keep receiving more and more reports for this problem.
Hi Xisco, no need to, the following gerrit patch fixes the bug once it's merged: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/32427
*** Bug 105007 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hi Aron, it seems Oliver Specht has also uploaded a fix for this problem: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/32682/ it would be nice if you both can sync so you don't overlap your work
Oliver Specht committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=048e30c1f8231e6cd144a9251061f6fa127b353e tdf#101828 handle rtf/richtext correctly It will be available in 5.4.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
5.4.0!!! 5.3 is an RC now. so in a year we will see the 5.4 fix!!! how about the 5.3 branch too??
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #29) > it would be nice if you both can sync so you don't overlap your work No worries, I abandoned mine.
Mike, this is how bug fixing works, first the fix is pushed into the current development branch, and later it's backported to release branches. This ensures the fix can be tested first before it potentially causes more serious issues than it fixed. Additionally, not all fixes get backported, but let's not get into that, I'm sure this qualifies. Please be patient.
*** Bug 105340 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 9e7526044c8fa6b006b0cb791d15f2476c96ebf2 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2017-01-14_04:20:03 Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL Copy and a paste special from attachment 130430 [details] (from duplicate bug 105340 ) offers "Formatted Text [RTF]" format choice. The columns from OOXML sheet paste into a table in Writer. But may have some adjustment to do yet, as the formatting on canvas of the RTF as copied from Calc does not match the format of the RTF when copied from Excel 2007. Seems like we loose some of the styling of the text between LO modules in rendering the RTF to document canvas. And with Impress, the Edit -> Paste Special for selection is still offering the "Formatted text [Richtext]" as well as the desired "Formatted text [RTF]"--but either is restyled from the RTF to use defined Table style. But here, pasting from Excel 2007 to Impress keeps the text styling (i.e. bold and color) but picks up the Impress table style. Raises the question--I'm not clear should pasting an RTF retain fidelity to its source style(s)? If answer is no--then believe we are good. Otherwise, may need more development.
Created attachment 130669 [details] RTF is present, LO don't show/use it In 5.2.4 sill present. Please fix it.
(In reply to bug102921 from comment #36) > Created attachment 130669 [details] > RTF is present, LO don't show/use it > > In 5.2.4 sill present. Please fix it. Currently patched in master, e.g. 5.4.0--testing using current daily build is appreciated. Otherwise, when and if a backport is prepared it will be reflected in the Whiteboard status.

Hm, seems that commit notification was missing. As already stated in whiteboard, the patch was backported to 5-3: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a6f3ca06100bc23eee5017d6cf53e89282dc580d.
Can we close this bug as FIXED then?
No, it should not be closed as the latest version on the web page (5.3.4) still will not allow me to paste Greek or Hebrew fonts into an English document. John.
(In reply to johngr.kroeze from comment #42) What makes you believe that your problem is this bug? Doesn't your version have "Paste as - Formatted text (RTF)" option, while 5.1 had it for the same operation? To be specific: with Version: 5.4.0.1 (x64) Build ID: 962a9c4e2f56d1dbdd354b1becda28edd471f4f2 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: default; Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); Calc: group and attachment 127786 [details], I can successfully paste text copied from the PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) with formatting (the RTF is used by default). That was impossible with 5.2 and 5.3.0, so I think that this bug is fixed, and your problem should be discussed in a new issue (please create one with proper description and steps to reproduce, including test document if required for reproduction). Closing as RESOLVED FIXED.
(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #43) > Closing as RESOLVED FIXED. @Mike : that is unfortunate, as a corresponding bug (bug 109343) affecting Mac is still not fixed...
