Description msowka 2005-02-02 18:45:15 UTC
I'm impressed with the additional features of the PDF Export function in the
Open Office 2.0 developer drops. :D Great stuff! But I've noted a little bug in
tagging.

More specifically, the bookmarks in the following scenario don't get generated
properly. My document has a bunch of headings (1-4), and appendices at the end.
It seems that the Appendix styles I've created (Appendix 1 based on Heading 1
style etc.) don't get tagged into the PDF correctly.

In the Tools->Outline Numbering I have the Appendix 1 set to level 8, showing as
sublevel 1, prepend "Append A " etc etc. But when I export the document to PDF
it turns out that the Appendix gets tagged as a subsection of the previous top
level section! :|

Comme ca:
8 References
|_ Appendix A - Detailed Graphs

When it should be, obviously, comme ca:
8 References
Appendix A - Detailed Graphs

Ooops, one quick note of interested to weed out the obvious.

I've got a style "First Heading 1" in my work (it's the first heading, with
custom styles etc etc) and I set that up in Outline Numbering at level 7.
Similar to the Appendix 1 scenario I've described. BUUUT It shows up correctly
in the PDF tagging.

This would be somthing for fme

FME: First I have to lower the priority:

FME->msowka: Please attach the document causing the problems.

FME->MRU: Please have a look if this is something for 2.0

Comment 6 msowka 2005-02-03 18:11:54 UTC
After thinking about this some more...

I guess Open Office "does the right thing" for now by laying out the heading in
the Navigator AND PDF OUPUT according to level.

I hope You understand my concern from the sample document, there needs to be a
way to have alternative 1ST LEVEL headings such as Appendices. Gauged from "show
level"?

I'll leave it to the Pros. Anything else I can do?
Comment 7 slurdge 2005-06-07 15:25:58 UTC
I can comment further on this.

I believe the correct way to do this would be to create a special numbering that
would put 'Appendix' before the title (easily done).

However, the problem is that when you apply a numbering style to a title style,
you loose the bookmark ability (you can't see it anymore in the navigator and
pdf). There should be a mean to keep this ability to have bookmarks for
numbering or for a paragraph style, however i did not find any way to do this.
The only thing that work is the 'numbering: outline', that you have by default
for titles, but that you can't select yourself. This numbering is related to the
Tools->Outline numbering.

I hope I made myself clear.
I can attach the document with the new styles if needed.

HI->FME: From my point of view this is not defect but a enhancement. Don't you
have already such project?
Comment 9 frank.meies 2005-06-21 15:19:21 UTC
FME->HBRINKM: This issue basically is a request for multiple outline numberings.
Please have a look if this is a duplicate of one of your issues.

Comment 12 openoffice 2006-10-16 15:32:29 UTC
OD took over numbering
Comment 13 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2006-10-18 12:49:25 UTC
accpeting this issue - set appropriate target.

Yes, this is an enhancement. Currently, we (MRU, FL and OD) are working on a
feature specification to introduce the ability in the Writer to get a heading
into a text document independent on the outline style (menu Tools - Outline
Numbering) and its assigned paragraph styles.
Comment 14 frank.meies 2006-10-19 08:21:43 UTC
fme: I'll change the title to better reflect the actual problem.

fme->msowka: There seems to be a workaround for your problem (found by OD):
Assign style Heading 1 to the Appendix paragraph. Create a new numbering style
and assign it to the Appendix paragraph. This way the Appendix paragraph will be
on level 1 in the navigator/pdf file but the actual numbering comes from the new
numbering style.
Comment 15 msowka 2006-10-19 19:09:45 UTC
Yes, the workaround works beautifully. If someone wants to see how this works
I'm attaching an example document. I've added a new Appendix Numbering based on
Numbering 1. The only quirk here (and I think this applies aside of this issue)
is that you have to sneak a ' ' (space) After the numbering character so that
the numbering and heading are not melded in the PDF bookmark

Thanks OD, FME,
Mike

Comment 17 msowka 2006-10-19 19:11:49 UTC
Forgot to comment that: conceptually, this workaround actually makes good
(better) sense as appendices are really just Level 1 headings with different
numbering...
Comment 18 Mathias_Bauer 2007-12-03 14:48:52 UTC
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
Comment 19 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2007-12-06 12:23:33 UTC
This issue should be solved this the implementation of issue 70748
Comment 20 jr 2009-10-18 20:06:14 UTC
setting keyword "numbering"
Comment 21 Marcus 2017-05-20 11:17:54 UTC
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
