Hi there,

although this may seem similiar to issue 5786 I guess it is a different thing. 
When creating a serial letter with conditional fields the fields seem to be set 
correctly. Because of resource troubles in printing directly I write the letter 
to files with one file for each data set (ugh!). On opening these letters the 
conditional fields are still active (not changed to static text). 

On printing or converting to pdf the conditional fields seem to be evaluated 
with the ONE active entry on the connected (calc) table. The effect is the same 
value through all letters. Worst of all evils is the fact that this shows only 
on printing the document, it seems perfect until you see the printout.

I will attach a zip file containing a sample document with a calc table. I 
selected the 2 entries 49 and 50 and printed the serial letter on these two 
entries to the files alt0 and neu0. The latter reads correctly "Dear Madam" as 
the result of the conditional field. Converting it to pdf (file neu0.pdf) 
shows "Dear Mister". 

By the way this behaviour is persistent through several versions now. I first 
noticed it in 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 and it has been consistent through RC4.
