--- Comment #1 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> ---
Thank you very much for your bug report!

I have tried to reproduce the problem with LibO 3.6.3.1 (on Mac OS X 10.6.8)
by the following steps:
0) Optional, but useful: quit LibreOffice, if running, and
   rename your LibreOffice user profile folder (temporarily)
   to use default settings for the following test.
1) Create a new empty Writer document.
2) Type “A” and press return.
3) Select “Insert > Horizontal Rule...” from the menu
   -> The “Insert Horizontal Rule” dialog window opens.
4) Click on the first entry in the list (“Plain”) to select it.
5) Click “OK”
   -> a new horizontal rule appears below the “A” line,
   and the caret is in a new blank line after the ruler.
6) Type “B” and press return.
7) Export the document to PDF format with default settings.

Now if I open the PDF document with Adobe Reader, I see that the ruler is there
-- it is just very very thin, and will probably not get printed nicely,
especially because the ruler is grey (not black). So, for me, the problem is
*not* that the ruler is missing, but that it is too thin (and grey).

I can change the width of all horizontal rulers by showing the “Styles and
Formatting” window and selecting the “Horizontal Line” paragraph style in order
to modify it. The “Paragraph Style” dialog window appears. The pane “Borders,
shows that the ruler has a default width of 0.15pt and the color “Gray”, and,
which is really bad, the ========= style, i.e. it consists of two lines with a
gap between then.

I will attach a screenshot, showing these strange default settings.

If I change the paragraph style “Horizontal Line”, e.g. to default line style
(a simple line), 0.5 pt width and color “Black”, the ruler appears correctly in
the PDF file and prints nicely.

So I would put the issue a bit differently:
the problem is not that the PDF export strips horizontal rulers from the
document; the problem is that LibreOffice 3.6.x uses very strange default
settings for horizontal rulers. You can change the manually (see above), but I
would turn this bug report into a request to change these strange default
settings.


@ Arthur Hansen:

Can you please check if you can confirm my results -- the ruler is there, but
just too thin --, or if you really get different results (the ruler is
completely missing from the PDF document)? If the latter is true, please attach
a simple sample Writer document which exhibits the problem, and a PDF export of
that file.

Thank you very much!
