Description davidlibre 2014-10-13 10:19:04 UTC
Problem with Czech accents in editable parts of the forms created in any version 4.x libre office writer and subsequently exported to pdf fillable forms (especially a problem with the hooks of characters ě,ř, ú, ů) where the place of these characters appear in the fillable fields blanks. Everything is viewed and saved in Adobe Reader 11 CZ. Noneditable parts of forms work correctly. I think, that the problem is most likely in the export to PDF fonts.

please upload test files and screenshots and define exactly the LibO version you are using.

I set status to NEEDINFO waiting for feedback.
revert it to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested infos.

Confirming.
Comment 8 Mateusz Hołysz 2015-03-04 21:32:41 UTC
I would like to confirm it also with polish diacritic letters such as ą, ę, ó, ł, ż, ź and ć. I use libre office 4.4.1.2 on ubuntu 14.04. I have also testedd it on windows7 with libre office 4.4.1.2. The same problem occured as described above.

Kind regards

Comment 10 Martin Hodek 2016-07-06 17:10:46 UTC
I confirm that this bug is still present in the Libre Office 5.1.4.2 (x64). Czech accents, especially letters "ř" "č" and "ů" are missing after saving the filled file.
To fillable pdf exported odt document also does not mantain correct format of text pre-filled into fillable cells (text is not underlined, while it was underlined in the original odt file).

The filled form also fails to be properly exported into non-editable pdf file via pdf creator.
Exported file is empty except for this message:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec
STACK:
/quit

Your sincerely

Since the laste issue of Apacha OOo does the same, I´d say inhereted.
Comment 12 Mateusz Hołysz 2016-09-29 10:48:38 UTC
Bug still present in newest Libreoffice build (Build ID: 1:5.2.1~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial0). It is impossible to save letters such a ą, ę, ł, ó, ż, ź in editable fields.

Test form - source *.odg, exported *.pdf and filled form in *.pdf

Hi,
I must also confirm this problem is still present in:

Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial1

I attached test form with various fields using accented characters together with reference text so it is easy to compare the results.

Strange is that the characters in form fields are damaged by default in the PDF output but after switching the form fields on (for example in Okular) it looks correct.

I am able to fill the form in PDF-Xchange Viewer or in Acrobat Reader DC but the resulting PDF file after saving has damaged text again.

The bug is strange as for example the text in filled PDF looks ok in Okular or PDF-Xchange but damaged in Adobe Reader. 

Unfortunately even PDF-Xchange does not print the PDF correctly.

I'm not sure if this is LO bug or not or Won'tFix. It's not major that accents "NOT working", maybe minor that "don't preview correctly in some PDF readers".

I'm looking at attachment 107873 [details] and "Školení na : Řidiče".
LO-exported PDF (attached and from 6.2+) opens fine in PDF-Xchange.
Adobe Reader 11 shows "Školení na : idiče" but missing Ř is there, as shown when mouse-clicked in. Form can be edited and saved. 
Old Foxit 4.3 shows "Školení na : idie" but click in shows "Řidiče" with emphasized Ř and č. Newer Foxit 5.4 immediately shows "Školení na : Řidiče" with emphasized Ř and č.
Small Sumatra PDF shows "Školení na : ?idi?e"
In Linux Mint, Xreader and Evince also previews "idie" but click in shows "Řidiče".
