------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Feb 5 12:47:51 +0000 2010 ------- In OOo, the dimensions of a form control are *including* the border. That is, if you have a control of size, say, 10x2.5cm, which has a border (of whatever type), then the effective space for the text contained in the control will be 10x2.5cm *minus* the border width (which is a pixel, so, it depends on the device where the control is rendered). In PDF, as I understand it, the border is not part of the control, but a separate element. Still, as long as this separate element is 10x2.5cm, and encloses the "real" PDF control, without any spacing between the border element and the control, then I think this is equivalent to OOo's own rendering. In this case, there's nothing which can be done about it - as mentioned above, slight differences when rendering the control (including border) on different devices are "natural", and here, a PDF document just counts as another device to render on. In particular, making the PDF control 10x2.5cm, and surrounding it by an additional border, would immediately yield other problems: Imagine a document where a form control and some other object are adjacent. In case the border would be "outside" the 10x2.5cm PDF control, it would overlap with this other element - which also would not be layout-preserving. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
