Description Christofer 2011-05-25 04:06:10 UTC

screenshot of how it looks in adobe reader

When exporting to PDF using the font and example provided in http://code.google.com/p/openoffice-code128/ it adds an additional space after the first character. Since it's an barcode-font the space can't be there or the barcode can't be read.

It displays it correctly in LibreOffice Calc, but the exported pdf is invalid in both Adobe Reader and Google Chrome. 

Windows version: Windows 7 professional SP 1
LibreOffice version: LibO_3.3.2_Win_x86_install_multi.exe
Adobe Reader version: 10.0.1
Google Chrome version: 11.0.696.68

Hi all, I don't understand what the issue is here.

bug description says "the exported pdf is invalid in both Adobe Reader and Google Chrome".

For me the " PDF result of export ODS file with code 128" does load fine in chromium, osx preview.app and acrobat.

So original problem is def. fixed and this bug is worksforme. If other bugs with the test file are remaining, please open a new bug and add exact reproduce steps.

Thanks.

Installed the code 128 font. Exported attachment 111579 [details] from Calc to PDF and can confirm that the gap is there.

Setting to NEW.

Still reproducible.

Version: 5.1.2.2
Build ID: d3bf12ecb743fc0d20e0be0c58ca359301eb705f
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Windows 6.1; UI Render: default; 
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU)
	
Important information:
Behavior depends on this setting (Windows 7): Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative tab -> Language for non-Unicode programs: Change system locale...

With system locale set to Hungarian (Hungary), in Calc text has some squares (bug 88021), but looks fine in exported PDF (no squares, no extra space).
With system locale set to English (United States), in Calc text looks fine, but has the space in exported PDF.
