Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116317
Footnote/Endnote number label loses link in exported PDF
Last modified: 2011-01-06 05:09:56 UTC
DEFECT: When clicking on the number label of a Footnote or Endnote in a PDF document exported from Writer, (OOo 3.2.1+) nothing happens, contrary to the original Writer document where Footnotes/Endnotes and related references conserve 2-1ay linkage between them. This lacking feature in a PDF document unduly forces Users to scroll back up to the Footnote/Endnote anchor within the body of text (for further reading) instead of just clicking on a relevant Footnote/Endnote number label for much quicker and more precise access to source target in document. Scroling while searching for a very small Footnote anchor number located somewhere in a body of text some pages away is impractical and frustrating indeed. REMINDER: Please be reminded that a similar issue was reported here a few days ago and later erroneously reviewed as a duplicate of Issue 5608. The Issue above pertains to Endnote/Footnote functionality in an exported PDF only, and should not be considered "resolved" or a duplicate of Issue 5608 or any other Issue involving navigation strictly within a Writer document.
