Summary: export PDF reformats page, but does wrong pages
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I have a large document with a master and 20 chapters, each as separate files.
When I try to export certain pages, it gets the wrong pages.
Export PDF and Tools->Update->Page Formatting have a different idea of when the
pages need to be re-formatted. Please investigate and pick one so that the same
page layout occurs when either of these options is chosen!
I have tried Tools->Update->Page Formatting, which, in this case, didn't do
anything. Why when I try to export PDF, the progress bar at the bottom of the
window shows that it's reformatting, going over and over the same sections.
Eventually, it outputs a PDF file, but, the reformatting changes the page
layout, so the pages just output are wrong.
It took running Export PDF SEVEN times before the page layout seemed stable!
I get the page numbers by using the Navigator to go to the desired pages,
writing the pages down, and copying the page ranges into the Export PDF dialog.
For example, each of the following lines contain the range of pages (for the
exact same content!) that I needed to export. Each time, even though
Tools->Update->Page Formatting indicated that no page re-formatting needed to
be done, Export PDF re-layed out the pages, and changed the page numbers to
what follows.
275-291,307-355
275-290 (when I saw the pages being re-layed out, I didn't trust it, so I
re-exported.)
273-292,308-355
275-293,309-356
283-298,314-361
273-290,306-353
273-289,305-352
I also have "Export automatically inserted blank pages" enabled, else the pages
are REALLY off (bug #57710).
This bug is to find out why Export PDF and Tools->Update->Page Formatting have
a different idea of when the pages need to be re-formatted. Is there any reason
for the users to get different page layouts if these different commands are
selected? It's frustrating to see the pages and their page numbers for pages to
be exported, verify that no re-layout needs to be done, and then try to export
those pages and have the exporter change the page numbers and then export the
old page numbers!
