[Bug 891522] Re: Forms printed with Printer Language PDF get mangled

 

HPO, this is unreproducible in Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit, LibreOffice Writer
via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/891522/+attachment/2600734/+files/testdocument.odt
&& lowriter -nologo testdocument.odt

saved to pdf and noticed no overlapping as shown in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/891522/+attachment/2599557/+files/printout

When exporting to pdf what options did you choose to generate the
overlay?

Title:
  Forms printed with Printer Language PDF get mangled

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Printing a libreoffice document containing form elements (checkboxes
  etc.) get superimposed with additional text: e.g. 'Checkbox' besides a
  checkbox etc.

  Switching 'Printer Language Type' to PostScript solves that - that
  setting is, however, not saved and has to be manually re-done
  everytime.

  I suppose there is a difference in that 'postscript' does not really
  contain a checkbox but its visual representation and 'pdf' does
  actually contain a checkbox?

  I use oneiric libreoffice, all updated: Libreoffice 3.4.3 (OOO340m1, Build 302)
