Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice impress presentation - metropolis - exported as PDF, doesn't display correctly on some devi
Shot in the dark. You can probably assume those fonts that currently work on Iphone with Metropolis are available by default. Find out the fonts that aren't working and substitute with other default fonts that are used on Iphone. Use only those font inside Metropolis. Hope this helps.

Might be some font that you used isn't included on these devices and they are using a different font that throws everything off? Not sure why this isn't listed under the PDF options as a choice? Had a spreadsheet I exported that had this issue with some fonts, and believe this fixed it? But it was long ago.. Worth a try. Worst thing, it makes no difference.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice impress presentation - metropolis - exported as PDF, doesn't display correctly on some devices
Your problem made me curious, so I played a bit. I took one of my slide presentations and applied the Metropolis master slide theme to all the slides. I then exported the file as PDF, HTML, and XHTML and then sent them to my Samsung A51 smartphone. The PDF displayed just fine on my Samsung phone. I then opened the file on my iPad and immediately saw what you are talking about. The text was lost on all my slide titles and on some slides, it was cut off. It only happened on the Apple device, and not on the Android device. I then used my original LO file, which was NOT made with the Metropolis master slide theme. I used a master slide that I had created myself and it loaded just fine on my iPad. It appears as if the problem is within the Metropolis master slide theme. As some suggested using HTML, I tried exporting the file as both HTML and XHTML, and both were much more challenging and I received a wide variety of results depending on the various HTML variables I applied. However, despite all my experimentation, I didn't find any HTML export solution that gave me everything. Some resulted in a separate file for each slide, some resulted in a loss of slide structure and others resulted in a loss of graphics. In short, I wasn't satisfied with any of the HTML solutions. If I were you, I would try a different master slide theme. The Metropolis clearly creates a problem, but I don't know why. It's not just a font issue. I changed the font on my Metropolis based presentation to Sitka Text (the font used in my self-created theme) and it was still getting cut off on the Apple device.

The whole idea of PDF is to represent a physical page; it is not intended to adapt to different screens of a large range of sizes.
