Test odt file with tables

I needed to make some tables with solid background over some arrays of cells. What I did was:

-I selected the whole table and made borders invisible (or created one and deselected "border" at the dialogue box).
-I selected the array of cells, and selected a background color. The array was effectively painted with that color. At that point the borders were still visible in the odt, as they should for visual aid during text editing.
-I exported to pdf. The "invisible" borders were still there, as fine white lines. They were only invisible when the background was itself white.

To illustrate, I attach an odt with two tables and its resulting pdf.

Note for the style of the border line I could not select "none", nor could I select a width below 0.05 pt. I don't know if this is by design.

Using LO 4.4.5.2 (Build ID: 40m0(Build:2), Locale: en_US.UTF-8) on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

Resulting pdf

Borders show through as fine white lines
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2015-09-06 06:36:17 UTC
Reproducible with LO 5.0.3.0+ under Ubuntu 15.04.
It is not a problem with table borders because if you change the border color, you still get the same line color in the pdf.
Same problem if I print using a virtual pdf printer or if I print in a file.

Set status to NEW.

Sorry, I take that back!

The borders are invisible when viewed with Okular, but they are still there with Document Viewer or in Firefox.

I reopen this bug.

Dear thanasis57,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
