Description: When I created a fill – in – form with libre office Writer, I have notice that there is a problem when a Text Box is added, the font is not the same in the PDF file as in the Writer document. I have tried to embedded the font when I create a PDF. I have experimented with adobe reader and Foxit reader and it’s the same thing. I can see the original font in my writer document, but not in my PDF file. I have also tried it with other fonts and it’s the same thing, we can’t see it in the PDF. I have been updating the software regularly. Although, if I have tried a list box or a combo box with the same original font, it’s the same in the PDF and in the document. So How do I fix this problem.... Thank you .... Steps to Reproduce: 1.Steps at in the message 2. 3. Actual Results: Still the same... Expected Results: To fix the problem Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It use to work well, but after a couple of updates it doesn't work like it use to.
I have just checked a couple of PDF fill in forms that I have created a while back ... The fonts were the same as the document... I notice it was made with a libre office 7.0... I hope it helps....
This is expected since LO 7.1 release See work done for bug 50879 "PDF export: ensure only built-in fonts are used for forms Alternative would be to embed the whole font, which is unusual: PDF typically just embeds the used subset." https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/99032 If you want your LO ODF document to match, use one of the PostScript "Core" fonts (i.e. a font any PDF renderer is required to support)--the default is Helvetica, but Times should behave.
