Bug ID: 152482
Summary: the result of a mail merge differs depending on
whether the output file is a ODF Text Document (odt)
or Portable Document Format (PDF).
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am doing a mail merge, where a text should be hidden if a data field is
empty.
The output is to individual files.
The text is correctly hidden if the output file format is ODF, but it is not
hidden if the output file format is PDF.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download sample data (a zipped file with the calc spreadsheet, the writer
document, and the output files).
2. open test-bug.odt and press CTL+P to print the document.
3. Answer Yes to the question : "Your document contains address database
fields. Do you want to print a form letter?"
4. specify output to file, save merged document as individual documents,
generate the file name from the database (field1).
5a. specify the file format as "ODF Text Document".
5b. specify the file format as "PDF - Portable Document Format".
Actual Results:
If file format is ODF Text Document (odt), the text is hidden if a data field
is empty, see ccc.odt : no field2 text.
If file format is Portable Document Format (PDF), the text is not hidden if a
data field is empty, see ccc.pdf : field2 text appears.
Expected Results:
If file format is Portable Document Format (PDF), the text is hidden if a data
field is empty, see ccc.odt : no field2 text.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
