Description Louis Coste 2023-09-19 13:09:48 UTC
Description:
We have a .docx document with a security header field. When we try and convert the document to PDF using the cli tool, the header field gets distorted such that there are only 2 or 3 characters per line instead of the single line of text it should be.
We tried opening the document in Writer and we see the same thing happening. 
We have not seen this issue happening for powerpoint or excel documents

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the document
2. Notice the header field distorted

Actual Results:
Header field is distorted.

Expected Results:
Header field should not be distorted.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
We can't simply fix up the header field in Writer since we are using the libreoffice cli tool to automatically convert documents to PDF

It happens also with .odt format, so it is not .DOCX specific.
