Description: When I create a PDF form from LibreOffice, it is possible to enter the text properly. But after leaving the field the text gets shifted upwards and the dots above the Umlaut becom invisible. I tried differnet field sizes and vertical alignments, without success In fact I was told that Umlaute become completely invisive on Windows. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a form with Form > Design Mode, especially with more that 18 pts 2. Export form as PDF 3. Edit PDF form and insert e.g. ÄÖÜÅß Actual Results: ÄÖÜÅß are shifted upwards after leaving the field, leaving only AOUAß visible Expected Results: ÄÖÜÅß should remain visible Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.10.5; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-DE (en.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

The difference I see is that the bottom gets cut off when I export to PDF, as opposed to the top, so the Umlaut is visible, but not the bottom of the characters.
You don't see the bottom!? When I edit the field, I do see everything, so it's finde. But when I leave the field, the content gets shifted up. So I do not see the *top* and more. May I see a screenshot from your behavior, which would be the opposite to mine?

This looks more as if the field was not high enough
(In reply to Martin Trautmann from comment #8) > This looks more as if the field was not high enough I didn't change anything in the DOCX document, just loaded it in LibreOffice, entered some text, and then exported it to PDF.
Seems more a PDF export filter issue for handling the table cell formatting of the form "controls". reproduced with STR of OP, and working with the form in Adobe Acrobat.
