Bug ID: 105972
Summary: PDF form export does not save field types
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@sphere-systems.com

Created attachment 131163
--> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131163&action=edit
sample form as ODT with text, numeric, and date fields

I am exporting a LibreOffice form as FDF. On export, all fields (or at least
numeric and date fields) are saved as plain text fields with no format
restrictions. I first observed this behavior in 5.1; it is still present in
5.3.0.3.

Created attachment 131164
--> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131164&action=edit
that form rendered as a PDF/FDF form with default options

Note that the fields that should be tagged as numeric or date are instead set
as plain text.

Did or work in a version older than 5.1? I don't have Adobe Acrobat on this
machine, so cannot test, have to try on another one later.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

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
http://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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
