Priority: medium
Bug ID: 66181
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: PDF printing of pre-formatted section does not
preserve spaces - cut&paste is then wrong.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: NEW
Version: 4.1.0.0.beta2
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 81435
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=81435&action=edit
Sample document (as .odt, .html and .pdf) to show the issue. Also the three
*.py files resulting from a cut&paste from each
I can put Python program source code into a LibreOffice document and mark it as
pre-Formatted (or Source Code).
If I cut&paste this into a text editor from LibreOffice itself, it works.
If I export it as an html file, and cut&paste from that, it works.
But if I export it as a PDF file then a cut&paste of that will fail, as the PDF
no longer retains the information about spaces - rather essential to pythign
code.
The problem also applies to other languages as in general any layout is lost,
and spaces can be lost from inside string etc.
I would like PDF exports to contain real spaces formatting in those document
sections which are pre-formatted in just the same ay the the HTML export lists
them as "<pre>"
As a start, does anyone know which parts of the source actually handle these
outputs for html and PDF? I could then try hacking around in the code myself,
but at the moment I'm lost as to where this is (not) going on.
