Created attachment 65067 [details] Shorter footer width Problem description: When spreadsheet is exported as PDF, the footer information in PDF appears wider than the original ODS. Steps to reproduce: Method 1 1. Open sample01.ods attachment. 2. Save as PDF and compare or open SAMPLE01.PDF attachment to compare. Method 2 1. Open a new spreadsheet. 2. Go to 'Format'->'Page'->'Footer' tab. 3. Check 'Footer on' and press 'edit' button to add footer information. 4. Fill in any of the areas(left, center, right areas)with as many characters, letters and space to fill the footer area until the width nearly reaches margins on both ends. 5. Check print preview to ensure that the footer remains as a single line. Add/delete the text if necessary. 6. Export as PDF via 'File' menu on the menubar or via the button on the standard toolbar. 7. Compare the results between the original ODS and the converted PDF. The footer in PDF did not fit into a single line as the ODS and shifted to the next line. Current behavior: The footer in PDF spreads out wider than that in ODS. A single-line footer which is longer than the sample and appears to fit within the page in page preview menu screen shifts to the next line when exported to PDF. Expected behavior: The print preview menu screen and PDF should match, especially the header/footer information in this case.

I filed an initial bug report of the same bug earlier (Bug 45869) which had been fixed. Howver, other PDF printer driver (e.g. PDFill), which used to produce PDF exactly as shown on 'print preview' menu screen (not the screenshot from 'Print' menu) prior to the bug fix, now replicates this oddity after the fix. I used to bypass this bug by using a PDF printer driver from other vendors but since both LO and PDF printers produce the same buggy appearance I have no remedy for this.

Created attachment 65077 [details] preview with LO 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ For me it the same bug as bug 45869 which has been fixed in master (LO 3.7) only not in LO 3.6. I tried with the master and in got the same thing with preview and pdf export. Best regards. JBF

Thanks for checking. I wasn't aware that the fix is pending for LO 3.7.
