Priority: medium
Bug ID: 67866
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: ACCESSIBILITY: Missing language information in
exported PDF
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.4.2 release
Component: Printing and PDF export
Product: LibreOffice
When exporting Writer documents to PDF, the resulting PDF file lacks language
information. Language information is necessary for accessibility, esp.
rendering through text-to-speech synthesis or Braille.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Set the default language for documents under Tools > Options > Language
Settings > Languages. (For the purpose of this test, set only the Western
language, and set both Asian and CTL to none; you will need to enable "UI
elements for East Asian writings" and "UI elements for Bi-Directional writing"
temporarily to do that.)
2. Create a document. Notice that the document language is visible in the
status bar.
3. Export the file to PDF; in the PDF Options, check "Tagged PDF" (otherwise,
the document will not be fully accessible anyway).
4. Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro or in Adobe Reader and go to the
Advanced tab of the document properties: the language field is empty.
Desired behaviour:
The language field shows the default language from the source document.
Note: this issue is also present in other ODF formats, e.g. presentations made
with Impress and exported to PDF. But Impress and Calc do not show language
information in the status bar; see bugs 34141 and 34142.
