[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 104114] Textbox form fields show as Password fields when exported in PDF forms

--- Comment #19 from E. Gaudrain  ---
So LiberationSans doesn't show at all in the list of fonts? Or does it show
lower in the list as a normal font? Also, was it with test PDF above, or with a
PDF you generated from the test ODT?

I removed my version of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled from the web, which had
the effect of reverting to the previous version. But the problem persists.

Your font listing from Reader seems to be a bit different from mine. Can you
run pdffonts on the PDF you generate from the ODT (if that's what you tried it
with)?

I am starting to think that it is perhaps Acrobat Reader that is being picky
with how fonts are named, and not bothering with finding a substitute if the
font is missing on the system, but since so many people use Reader, that makes
distribution difficult... I am also wondering if the generated PDF shows the
same problem in other versions of Reader, on other platforms...

As to my system, a search in macOS Font Manager doesn't reveal the presence of
any Liberation fonts, either at the system level or user level, so I've no idea
why it works for me.

I have the latest version of Adobe Reader DC for my platform OS/locale, as I
downloaded it today from Adobe's servers - I previously didn't have Adobe
Reader installed.

If I look at the fonts that the output PDF contains according to Reader, I see
:

Arial, Embedded, TT, Custom codepage
Helvetica, Type1, Custom codepage, Real Font : Helvetica, Real Font Type : TT
Liberation Serif (partially embedded), TT, integrated codepage

Running pdffonts on the test case pdf I see:

name   type encoding emb sub uni object ID
--   --- --- --- -
BA+LiberationSerif TrueType WinAnsi  yes yes yes 13  0
LiberationSans TrueType WinAnsi  no  no  no  19  0
ArialMTTrueType WinAnsi  no  no  no  17  0
Baskerville-Bold   TrueType WinAnsi  no  no  no  15  0


So LiberationSans, Baskerville-Bold are actually not embedded.

Created attachment 128986

Font tab from Reader's Document properties after moving font from LO to system

Tried to install Liberation Sans as a user font. First attempt didn't work, but
when I removed the font from
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/fonts/truetype it did work.

So with Liberation Sans as a system font, and *not* in LO's font folder, I can
create a TextBox with that font. The font is also properly listed as embedded
in the created PDF file.

So it looks like, in my version, there is a problem with how LO's fonts are
(fully) embedded when a subset is not used. I don't know however whether this
is restricted to forms or if this applies to all cases where a LO font would be
fully embedded.

Font tab from Document properties window in Acrobat Reader.

There is indeed something weird with "Liberation Sans": the Actual Font field
is set to "unknown".

The problem is the same if I use any LibreOffice font that is not present as a
system font (DejaVu, other Liberation variants...).

I had used "PDF". I now tried with "FPDF" instead, but the problem persists for
me.

Note that meanwhile I also updated from 5.2.2.2 to 5.2.3.3 (somehow the update
wasn't available through the LibreOffice interface, so did it manually). My
current version is now:

Version: 5.2.3.3
Build ID: d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI Render: default; 
Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); Calc: group

Also didn't solve the issue.

My Acrobat Reader DC version is 2015.020.20042 (the latest). Your version seems
to be the previous iteration. I couldn't figure out how to get detailed version
information like you displayed.

The only differences I see is that I am still on the previous version of OSX,
but I have a newer Acrobat Reader. I am also wondering if Liberation Sans is
installed as a system or user font on your machine?

No repro for me with 

Adobe Reader DC

Build: 15.20.20039.203716
AGM: 4.30.66
CoolType: 5.14.5

and LibreOffice :
Version: 5.2.3.3
Build ID: d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf
Threads CPU : 2; Version de l'OS :Mac OS X 10.12.1; UI Render : par défaut;

using your test file ODT document as the starting point.

When exporting to PDF, I chose FDF as the format, as you didn't mention in your
report which selection from the dropdown list you had made.

So, either I'm doing something wrong, or else there is missing information,
either way, setting to NEEDINFO

--- Comment #6 from E. Gaudrain  ---
Some internet searches confirm that if a font is used in a form, it should be
fully embedded:
https://answers.acrobatusers.com/Embed-standard-font-PDF-form-field-q5016.aspx
https://answers.acrobatusers.com/embed-fonts-in-a-form-q302105.aspx

A simple workaround to avoid the issue from popping up would be to default form
fonts to a base font (rather than Liberation).

A real fix would mean embedding fonts specified in Textbox fully to allow
Acrobat to find it.

Now Acrobat is complaining:

Cannot find or create the font 'LiberationSans'. Some characters may not
display or print correctly.

While checking it seems that Liberation Sans is not installed as a System or
User font but stays only in LO's installation directory. So Acrobat cannot find
it.

I am guessing that for the rest of the text, the font is included in the
document, but that partial font sets cannot be used for forms.
