Created attachment 57319 [details] MS-Word document with checkboxes on the first page. All looks well on screen, but the checkmarks do not print. Problem description: A Word Form (fairly old, but I have to fill it regularly) looses the contents of checkboxes when printing. Strangely enough the boxes are visible in exported PDFs *on screen*, but *they do not print there either*! Steps to reproduce: 1. Open firm (I could attach an empty version) 2. Check some boxes 3. Print also: export to PDF and print the resulting PDF (which looks ok on screen) Current behavior: The boxes themselves print very faintly (maybe 10-20% gray), but the crosses do not appear at all Expected behavior: The checkboxes and the crosses should print in black as they appear on screen Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/534.53.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.3 Safari/534.53.10, Brother 2030 Printer
Created attachment 57320 [details] PDF created from the above form with boxes checked. The PDF looks ok on screen, but the checkmarks do not print!
Thanks for bugreport not reproducible in 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit, may be MasOS X specific > Strangely enough the boxes are > visible in exported PDFs *on screen*, but *they do not print there either*! PDF file prints without X in check-boxes?

I just tried again to print the attached document on two printers and got surprisingly different results! On my HP 7280 Inkjet printer the boxes *and* the crosses print with very thin lines, but all looks ok. However, when I print the same document on my Brother HL-2030 Laser Printer I still get the very faint boxes *without" any trace of the crosses at all. This seems to break the promise that PDFs should look in a very similar way on all devices. However it does not seem to be entirely OS-related as I did not have the same problems with the same document when I filled it in NeoOffice which generated very similar PDFs that print ok everywhere. Maybe this helps to narrow down the problem which I will probably solve now by printing on the Inkjet. Still strange that LibreOffice PDFs behave this strangely.
Thanks for additional information. But I still not understand: problem appears when printing attached PDF? And if so, how behave different PDF viewers? May be problem is there? If all PDF viewers behave the same, then problem may be in printer driver.
Both PDF and DOC form documents print out for me with LO daily build from 01/10/2012, to the same degree of visibility, i.e. light grey, and I can see the crosses in the boxes when checked and printed. Using networked Kyocera FS-C5150DN printer. Mac OSX 10.8.2 Alex
(In reply to comment #5) Just to be clear : I opened the DOC file, checked a few boxes on the first page, then exported to PDF. Printed the DOC file from within LO via the normal Mac print dialog. Opened the PDF file I created in Preview, and then printed via the normal Mac print dialog. Alex
Hello Paul, *, would you be so kind to test it with a newer version of LO than 3.5.0, please? @Alex: Does your comment 5 mean, this bug is fixed? Would you be so kind to close it, then? TIA Thomas.
