Reassigned to HI. Checked this issue in OOo-dev 3.1.0 [(OOO310m7) (build:9393)]. PDF export worked just fine, hidden fields remained hidden, unhidden fields remained unhidden. Issue was not reproducible. Created attachment 81619 [details]
Steps to create - Detailed

Form Controls - Exported to PDF

Form Controls - Native ODF format
ASSUMPTION: I am also assuming the fields are part of Form Control dialog. I'm working with OpenOffice 4.0.0 AOO400m3(Build:9702) - Rev. 1503704 on a Windows 7. I also replicated this on OpenOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m20(Build 9567) on an XP machine. Because I am uncertain and unclear for "form field", I have assumed this to be the components of Form Dialog. I have attached explicit instructions in the "Steps to Create" PDF attachment. I am also attaching the "Form Controls" file in both the exported PDF and the native ODF format. Steps to create: 1) Open OpenOffice Writer. Enable Form Control toolbar View->Toolbars->Form Controls 2) From the Forms Control tool bar, click on the option Button(It should be higlighed in a grey box), go the sheet and draw it onto the sheet. 3) Double click on the option button and change the "Enabled" and "Visible" property to No. Close the property dialog. 4) Add another option button. Set Enabled=No and Visible=Yes for its property. Close the property dialog. 5) Add 3rd option button. Set Enabled=Yes and Visible=No for its property. Close the property dialog. 6) Add the 4th option button. Set Enabled=Yes and Visible=Yes for its property. Close the property dialog. 7) Export the PDF file. Observe the controls in PDF file. You can now observe the bug. All the 4 option button are visible and can be selected in the PDF. My expectations were: Enabled=No and Visible=No -> Hidden and Unable to select in PDF Enabled=No and Visible=Yes -> Visible but Greyed out in PDF Enabled=Yes and Visible=No -> Hidden in PDF(Although I can select it) Enabled=Yes and Visible=Yes -> Visible and able to select in PDF. Follow up Tests: 1) I added 2 Push button using the Form controls. One of them was Enabled=Yes and it was set to open www.google.com, whereas the other one had Enabled=No and was set to open www.yahoo.com 2) After exporting to PDF, I saw both the buttons were enabled and functioning. It thus appears that the Enabled and Visible property works in ODF but exporting them to PDF causes them to lose their property. I have neither tested other properties nor other components in Form Control, except Enabled and Visible property for option button and Push button. P.S. I was not able to find any related bug to Form Control. Just a clarification: The 3 attachments and the steps provided in my earlier comments do REPLICATE this bug. While testing the bug for disabled form fields not being disabled in the PDF export, I was able to replicate the same bug in OO 4.0.1 (Build:9714). Which is a version of OpenOffice from when the bug was originally found as well as only a couple builds away from Nahata's results. Having this bug persist wont allow customers to get the proper and full functionality out of exporting OO writer files to PDF, if they ever would like for a field to not be visible.

My apologies, I forgot to mention that I was running Windows 8 as well. ALG: Two comments: - It's not trivial (as stated in the importance field) - It's a feature request, not a bug Still Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / English locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1546757 - 2013-12-02]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile. Additional info: --------------- (a) has nothing to do with Writer, is a general problem (b) Indeed, Enhancement request, currently there is nothing in PDF export dialog related to activity of forms. (c) h.ilter@web.de seems to be not a contributor, so Assignee back to list (d) Also still a Problem with LibO Version: 4.1.3.2 (e) Latest confirmation for AOO 4.1.0-dev, but because of incomplete LCo selector (Bug 123063) no correct information can be contributed. (f) Already reproducible with Pre-3.4.0 (OOo 3.3.0), but because of crippled Version selector (Bug 123063) no useful info can be contributed This problem depends on the PDF format itself. The form object do not support disable feature and visibility on PDF format that described in Chapter 8.6 Interactive Forms of PDF Reference 1.7. But it seems to make the control read-only is supported. Therefore, if someone wants to support this kind of function on exported PDF file, we need alternative way to do in a limit of the PDF file format. |
