Description: Hidden paragraphs are actually hidden when condition matches on saving mail merge to individual files in odt or png format. But when saving on pdf individual files, paragraph is visible even when condition matches Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create write document and insert any Bibliography database fields 2.Add normal paragraph with text "Hidden when Custom1 = English" 3.Insert hidden-paragraph field for that paragraph with condition [Bibliography.biblio.Custom1 EQ "English"] 4.Print with form letter option. Save as individual documents with PDF file format Actual Results: Every individual PDF file will show paragraph, even when Custom1 field equals to "English". If you try saving to PNG format, you will check that paragraph is hidden when condition matches. Expected Results: It would be expected that hidden paragraph is not visible when condition matches Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.2.8.2 (x64) Build ID: f82ddfca21ebc1e222a662a32b25c0c9d20169ee CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

Hi Luis, Thanks for reporting this issue. I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 437dc68285dab0f08a1ded2193d86d64f560cd9b CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
Hi Xisco. Thanks a lot for your time on supporting LibreOffice. I'm sorry to say that after installing: === Versión: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Id. de compilación: 943cd5381b241f18f9ede25f3c2de4168a998caa Subprocs. CPU: 8; SO: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; Repres. IU: GL; VCL: win; Configuración regional: es-ES (es_ES); Idioma de IU: es-ES Calc: threaded === bug is still present In PNG individual files hidden paragraph is actually hidden but in PDF individual files hidden paragraph is shown. I'll try to attach output files
Created attachment 155287 [details] Individual output file in PDF format. Last paragraph is shown even when condition to hide matches
Created attachment 155288 [details] Individual output file in PNG format. In PNG file, last paragraph is correctly hidden, because condition to hide matches (please compare to PDF output file)
(In reply to Luis Iglesias from comment #1) > Created attachment 155126 [details] > Example Writer document to reproduce bug > > It uses Bibliography database installed by default in my LibreOffice suite Not reproduced. The PDF files are produced with the last paragraph hidden in case of Custom1 == English. The only difference I see in your setup is you use OpenGL. Might try turning it off: Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View - Use OpenGL for all rendering Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 623d6cf06ccba392c1993a3b0ad271d508205e73 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.6; UI render: default; VCL: kf5; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Built on 29 April 2020 Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)Build ID: 5063669a17538ea353e34ab0990363399d34f4f4CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI); UI-Language: en-USCalc: threaded
Hello, everybody! I came across this post the other day when I was on the solution to the same problem. I have exactly the same issue when creating serial letters with (not) hidden paragraphs as Luis describes. I first noticed this phenomenon with version 6.1.6.3, but in the meantime I could reproduce it on different computers with LibreOffice 6.2.8.2, 6.3.5.2 and now also with 6.3.5.2. The OpenGL settings have no influence on the result. Also with me the problem appears obviously only when exporting PDF files (Export to PNG is not affected). Kind regards Sebastian Rippen Version: 6.3.6.2 (x64) Build-ID: 2196df99b074d8a661f4036fca8fa0cbfa33a497 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded
Sebastian: can you reproduce the problem with a master build: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF ?
> Sebastian: can you reproduce the problem with a master build: > https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html > Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF ? Thanks for your quick response. Tried it on Windows 7 x64 with LibreOffice 7.0.0.0-alpha0+ (x64) 00db5933ded1884b2ac453552badae20fa943478 with default settings; unfortunately i have the same result - hidden paragraphs by expression are visible in PDF-output. Please let me know if you need more information or anything else that might help.
Ok, I guess I'll set to NEW, even though I can not reproduce on Windows or Linux
Created attachment 160315 [details] Additional examples to reproduce bug
I have now created a test mailmerge with the master-build-version in a standard environment, which contains only minimal data. Here I could reproduce the problem as well. See Attachment: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=160315 As output for the mailmerge i choosed the formats PNG, JPG, HTML, TXT and PDF. Interestingly, the paragraphs to be hidden are only correctly ignored in the graphic-based file formats (PNG and JPG). As you can see, paragrahphs still exists in the text-based formats of the mailmerge output. Maybe the example will help you to locate the problem additionally.
Looks like duplicate. If not, please explain why. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 54703 ***
