In exported PDF on macOS, comments are empty. Only empty (yellow) placeholders are positioned there that open upon a click.
Using 6.0.3 daily build with no langpack. This bug, AFAICR, was present also in older macOS versions. The only way to get comments in PDF on macOS is a workaround to print to file, where pdf is selected as a printer. Then again, you get only actual text/blob comments, not foldable markup.
Thanks for the bugreport. (A) A sample ODT file. (b) The exported PDF and (c) a screenshot showing the problem would make thing a little easier to confirm =).

No, it isn't. But there is no need for that. Create a new empty document, add a comment (some text), export as PDF (export of comments should be enabled in export settings). Open generated PDF, you get the same result.

(In reply to Martin Srebotnjak from comment #8) > Created attachment 140691 [details] > Test document > > Enjoy. I can't repro it with LibO 6.1 build 08-03-2018 using Sierra 10.12.6. It might be a PDF-reader issue.. The PDF is valid (in my case): https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx
I tried with 6.1.x master, it does the same, Preview on macOS shows empty comment.

Ouch, I can see the comment of the attached PDF file in firefox ( mac and linux ) but not in Chrome ( linux ) or Safari ( mac ). Setting to All...
@Xisco I'm probably on the wrong track, but what did you test: * Opening the attached PDF ( Generated PDF file with empty comment) * Or exporting the PDF and opening it There something fishy with PDF, but I can't create one myself..

I can still confirm with 7.4 B1.
With 7.5.5.2 on MacOS 10.14 the comments appear blank in Preview, but when PDF is opened with Adobe Acrobat reader they do appear in full... They also appear in Firefox's PDF viewer, so this might be resolved and just a Apple Preview incompatibility issue.
Well, most macOS and iOS users use Preview for opening PDF files. If developers are conforming docx files with internal MS logic (and not everyone is using MSO), then this should be taken care of. Also, PDF forms are not behaving nicely in Preview, but that is a Preview's known bug.
