Bug ID: 104114
Summary: Textbox form fields show as Password fields when
exported in PDF forms
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When a Text Box form field is inserted, it behaves as expected in LibreOffice,
but when the document is exported in PDF, the Text Box behaves like a password
field, filling with the masking character if opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Setting the control's font to "sans" solves the issue, but it means specific
fonts cannot be used for Textboxes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document
2. Show the Form Controls toolbar.
3. Insert a Text Box control.
4. Export to PDF.
5. Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC.
Actual Results:
The generated PDF contains a Textbox field, but when the content is edited, it
only shows password masking characters (expect spaces).
If opened with Preview, the textbox behaves as expected.
Expected Results:
The Textbox in the generated PDF should display correctly in Acrobat Reader DC,
with the selected font.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The problem seems to be related to font definitions. If the Font property of
the Textbox control is set to "sans" instead of "Liberation Sans", the field
behaves as expected once exported.
