Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123606
tables in generated Pdf have different row heights for one-line values

Created attachment 81861 [details] Sample ods document for PDF generation Some rows have different heights, and that on one sheet. All rows have same styles, so the problem should be in export. Just try the attached file. I see, that the reason for that could be in adjusting the table, so that the sheet has no gaps, but I think that the gap space should be distributed over all the raws of the sheet.
some overseen fields changed
No visible problem when export as PDF with AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:54 - Linux x86_64 Debian Please advise.
Hi!! can you please attach the generated PDF? The point is - different OOO produce different PDF... Maybe I just should use your version...

you right, I'll test the latest version
I just tried the new version, AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:54 - Linux x86_64 The generated file has problems (see the 2nd sheet, 3rd row in attach)...

In the normal view the row has 2 lines of text. In the page preview it has only 1 line of text, but still the height for 2 lines. AOO 3.4.1 shows the same behavior. I think the text lines in normal view and pageview should be the same, so no one gets unexpected print results.

On my Computer the Document in normal view has 1 text line for the problem row... Nevertheless - what could be done about that? Is the issue confirmed?
Correct me, if I wrong, but in my opinion it is wrong that the same document for the same Office version produces different PDF. That is surely a bug. And that bug is triggering another one, with table-raw calculation for the printing...
Created attachment 81879 [details] same row viewed with zoom levels 100%, 90% and 80% This is a real odd one. The number of lines seems to depend on the zoom level. When play with the zoom lever in the bottom right corner, the lines in the row switch form 1-2 all the time. The cell height stays the same (2 lines).

I'm no dev or qa member. Just a normal user trying to narrow the problem down. No Idea what could be done. Does your pdf look the same as in the print preview? If so, try to adjust the cells dimensions till it looks good.

The pdf in preview looks like on PDF, but cell dimensions adjusting is not an option - the file is generated dynamically, so the content can change, but the document should look OK for A4 sheet, and for PDF

You are my hero!! That helped to solve the problem. Nevertheless, this is the bug, 'cause different heights for rows with same quantity of strings is nonsense. They should have same height out-of-box, without digging bug reports ;-) By the way - on Windows this workaround doesn't work...
Confirmed with AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1543812 Rev.1543812 Win 7
