Created attachment 184219 [details] PDF-export (7.5 beta1) prints comments only to the margin of the first page In the version 7.5.0.0.alpha1+, PDF Export gained a new option to print the comments to the margin of the printed pages, as is with the regular printing feature. In the folloging release 7.5.0.0.beta1, this option will print comments only on the first page of the document, rest of the pages are printed normally without comments. Addtionally, in the version 7.6.0.0.alpha0+, comments are apparently printed to all of the pages. See more information in the original bug report, bug 77650.
Confirm with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad085990b8073a122ac5222e5220f8f1d6826dcf CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I thought that 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ was unaffected by this bug. So to sum up things: Affected: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ 7.5.0.0.beta1 Not affected: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+
7.6alpha0+ is also affected Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad387d5b984c6666906505d25685065f710ed55d CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
(In reply to BogdanB from comment #3) > 7.6alpha0+ is also affected Strange, in the comments of bug 77650, stragu commented: >I couldn't see that issue in: >Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
I could exported correctly from Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad085990b8073a122ac5222e5220f8f1d6826dcf CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded So, I don't know why it is working and sometimes not.
Everything fine with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad387d5b984c6666906505d25685065f710ed55d CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded But I have to mention: - I have checked in Tools - Options - Writer - Print - "Print in margins" - in File - Print - Writer - Comments - I choose - "Place in margins"
Please retest.
I retested the following: LibreOfficeDev_7.5.0.0.alpha1_Win_x86-64 Does not have the feature implemented eyet. LibreOfficeDev_7.5.0.0.beta1_Win_x86-64.msi First implementation build of this feature and comments are printed only to the margin of the first page LibreOffice_7.5.0.1_Win_x86-64.msi (RC1?) comments are printed only to the margin of the first page However, I have not and can't test 7.6.0.0.alpha0+, because I don't know where to download it. I have only tested versions available on the pre-releases server. I only mentioned 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ because stragu commented it on bug 77650.

Here you can find development versions everyday and choose what is wright for youȘ Mac/Linux/Windows https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/
Now I tested 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (2022-Dec-28) and this version prints comments only to the margin of the first page. So for me, none of the versions work corretly.
2 steps in order to work: - Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Print - Comments - check "In margins" - OK - with the document you want to print opened press Ctrl+P (or File - Print), in the next window go to the next TAB (LibreOffice Writer) TAB and check Comments - Place in margin.
@BogdanB, the procedure you are describing is for regular printing (or for using third party PDF printing software). This bug report is about the LibreOffice native PDF export File->Export As->Export as PDF The regular comment printing to margins works fine, it is the PDF Export that is the problem.
Sorry for noise, I remove all my wrong comments. Not working with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad085990b8073a122ac5222e5220f8f1d6826dcf CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Neither with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad387d5b984c6666906505d25685065f710ed55d CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I just had a closer look: In my tests, it looks like there is some interference between the PDF export settings and the Print to File settings, with different results depending on the combination of settings and PDF export route. There actually is no difference between 7.5 and 7.6. Reported differences between these two versions are probably due to different combination of settings used in tests. How to turn on the option in the dialogs: - Turning it on for *printing* is in: "File > Print... > LibreOffice Writer > Contents > Comments: Place in margins", then using the "Print to file" printer. - Turning it on for *PDF export* is in: "File > Export as > Export as PDF... > General > Structure > Comment in margin" 5 cases tested, of which 2 have bad results: A. Off for Print, on for PDF, then Export as PDF: only first page's comments are included -> BAD B. Off for PDF, on for Print, then Print to file: all comments included -> GOOD C. Both turned on, export however you want: all comments included -> GOOD D. On for Print, off for PDF, then export as PDF: first page's comments missing -> BAD E. On for PDF, off for Print, then Print to file: no comments in margin -> GOOD Tested in: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b52117c0be97c45824d2897657084f8ac7e9bf42 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The print settings influencing the PDF export were already an issue in 7.4, but at least all the comments were exported. The issue with only *some* of the comments being exported was introduced in 7.5, when the option for comments in margin was introduced for the PDF dialog (fix for bug 77650). Samuel, could you please have a look at how these two dialogs interact in unexpected ways?
*** Bug 153716 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have not extensively tested what effect the settings in "Tools > Options > Writer > Print > Comments" have, but they would also need to be checked for any interaction weirdness. So far, I see that changing this setting does not sync with the Print dialog.
