Priority: medium
Bug ID: 57710
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: PDF writer's "Export automatically inserted blank
pages" outputs wrong pages
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.3.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 70807

A tar file with the test case
In the attached document, I have a master document, pdfpages1.odm, and two
chapters, chap1.odt and chap2.odt.
If you open the master document and scroll to page 2-1, the page display in the
lower right corner displays "Page 1 7/9". This indicates that I'm on Page 1 of
the current chapter, but page 7 of the entire document, which is 9 pages long.
When I convert this page to PDF, and don't select "Export automatically
inserted blank pages", and select Page 7, the pdf file contains only page 2-3,
which is, according to LibreOffice's page display, page 9/9.
With some exhausting testing I get:
Print Get
1 i
2 ii
3 iii
4 1-1
5 2-1
6 2-2
7 2-3
8 Error saving the document pdfpages1: Write Error. The file could not be
written.
This means that the two blank pages (that would be used to fill out the
right/left pages in a 2-sided document) are not only not printed (which is what
the non-selected option implies), but they are not included in the page count.
1. This means that LO's Page display, "Page 1 7/9" does not display enough info
to choose the pages to be output! How can I choose which pages to convert to
PDF if there is no indication of how many blank pages are not being printed?
2. This option should still rely on the LO Page display, but not output the
blank pages. This would screw up 2-sided printing if there are intervening
pages that are not output, but I think that's a given with the "don't export
blank pages" option.
3. Here's a more fundamental question: Why are the "blank" pages blank? Why
aren't the headers, footers, and watermarks there?
