Bug ID: 158428
Summary: Fillable PDF Forms in Libreoffice Draw cannot have
textboxes that scale their font to fit the textbox
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: b...@webzone.com.au
Description:
I am trying to transition from Adobe Acrobat to Libreoffice Draw for making
Fillable PDF forms, however draw seems to be lacking a feature.
If I create a text box form control, draw the box, export as a PDF then type a
long string of letters, the letters will truncated. This is unacceptable for
any form that needs to be printed to paper.
In adobe acrobat, if you set the font size of the text box to 'auto', the text
will shrink to fit in the box instead of being truncated.
According to this bug report in mozillas pdf reader
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/15605 if the font size of the form is
set to zero, then the PDF viewer should fit the text to the bounding box. As
far as I am aware, there is no way to do this in draw.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto View -> Toolbars -> Form Controls to enable form controls
2. Click the 'Text Box' control from the form controls
3. Drag to create a text box
4. Export the file as a PDF
5. Open the PDF in a PDF viewer (Such as firefox or chrome)
6. Type a long string of letters that is greater than the length of the text
box
6. Deselect the text box
Actual Results:
The text box it cut off
Expected Results:
The text should have been shrunk to fit the text box
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
