--- Comment #14 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 
<[email protected]> ---
I just had a closer look:

In my tests, it looks like there is some interference between the PDF export
settings and the Print to File settings, with different results depending on
the combination of settings and PDF export route. There actually is no
difference between 7.5 and 7.6. Reported differences between these two versions
are probably due to different combination of settings used in tests.

How to turn on the option in the dialogs:

- Turning it on for *printing* is in: "File > Print... > LibreOffice Writer >
Contents > Comments: Place in margins", then using the "Print to file" printer.
- Turning it on for *PDF export* is in: "File > Export as > Export as PDF... >
General > Structure > Comment in margin"

5 cases tested, of which 2 have bad results:

A. Off for Print, on for PDF, then Export as PDF: only first page's comments
are included -> BAD
B. Off for PDF, on for Print, then Print to file: all comments included -> GOOD
C. Both turned on, export however you want: all comments included -> GOOD
D. On for Print, off for PDF, then export as PDF: first page's comments missing
-> BAD
E. On for PDF, off for Print, then Print to file: no comments in margin -> GOOD

Tested in:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b52117c0be97c45824d2897657084f8ac7e9bf42
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The print settings influencing the PDF export were already an issue in 7.4, but
at least all the comments were exported. The issue with only *some* of the
comments being exported was introduced in 7.5, when the option for comments in
margin was introduced for the PDF dialog (fix for bug 77650).

Samuel, could you please have a look at how these two dialogs interact in
unexpected ways?
