Description Timur 2025-04-10 11:05:16 UTC
PDF export dialog has the "Create PDF form" widget disabled, since https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/178768

pdf: Rearrange general tab of PDF dialog, add PDF vers. selection

Repurpuses PDF/A combobox to also add PDF 1.7 and PDF 2.0 as
options, as those are exclusive (either you have classic PDF, or
you select PDF/A which is a special version of some PDF version.
No need to have a check box for PDF/A anymore, so this was removed.

- Moved the version selection to top
- Added "Forms" frame, which for all the form options.
- Moved Tagged PDF into "Structure" frame.
- Reworded some text (extended tips, tooltips) for PDF versions

Confirmed on recent master against 25.8

For a Writer document with Form fields, on export to PDF I am unable to select the 'Create PDF Form' option. The checkbox and the associated listbox of submit formats remains disabled.

Same steps on 25.2.2, the Export as PDF Form creation succeeds.
