Thanks Lionel, I can confirm that LibreOffice 7.2.2 on Debian 10.11 'buster'
makes PDF forms that can be filled and printed in Adobe Reader 9 even when the
Type 1 Helvetica font is not installed locally. In my test case it was
substituted by Arial.

Indeed, it was about *all* characters, not only "special" ones.

You found it in versions 6.1.5 and 6.4.5. This bug is fixed in 7.1.0 only.

Please try again with LibreOffice 7.1.0 or later. There, the form fonts are
forced to be one of the standard Type 1 fonts on PDF export.

Hi Mikos, I'm not sure you're correct that this bug is only about special
characters. The bug I found was the same as in comment 1 by Christian
Schlittchen dated 2012-06-08. 

PDF forms created in LibreOffice don't work cross-platform, apparently because
the 'standard' Type 1 fonts originally selected by Adobe in the PDF
specification are no longer supported in LibreOffice. Substitute form fonts are
not embedded in the form fields, causing a 'missing fonts' error. Placeholder
characters are shown instead, particularly in Adobe Reader.

Discussed in today's ESC call: the original problem was that special characters
may be missing when filling in PDF forms: restricting the font to builtin names
fixes that problem.

If you still want to embed a full custom font (all glyphs) for fill form
purposes, please file a separate bug for that. Thanks!

How did you do that? What font can I select from my GNU/Linux system that
Windows / Acrobat Reader users will already have? Ideally, I would like to use
one of the 14 "standard" fonts (Times, Helvetica, ...), but GNU/Linux systems
usually don't have them, they have "compatible" ones with different names, so
it doesn't work :-(

Exported form - font of control wasn't exported

I tried the same error while sending much forms to pupils last months. The
default font of form-controls will never been exported. It is "Noto Sans" on my
systems - and if someone asks: Where have you added this font: It's the default
LO will create since I test all these things with databases - so a long time.

It doesn't work with PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-1b.

So only possibility to get this working was to change all the default fonts in
the form-controls to a default font all this Windows and AcrobatReader users
have already installed.

The "Do you want to include?" option would be awesome. I've been fighting the
same problem for hours trying to find a workable solution. In my case, neither
of the fonts are standard:

The "xA+*" form comes from adding some fixed text using the problem fonts.
But the form fields want to refer to the unembedded form of the same font.
Note: I really don't want the fixed text. This is just to show the fonts can be
embedded... just the form fields won't use them (or they won't be embedded
under the name the form fields want... I'd be ok with either one).

Fully agree with Schlittchen's proposal but wouldn't distinguish between full
and partial sets (trying to be smart is doomed to fail IMHO). So a simple
confirmation box could do the trick:

Your document contains non-standard fonts that might be not readable on other
systems. Do you want to include these extra fonts?
[Help][Yes, include fonts] [_No, export as it_]

(No is the default, closing the box per x and maybe an additional cancel button

I think the best way to handle this is to warn the user during export that
he/she is using nonstandard fonts in form fields and give a choice between a)
exporting as it is b) use a suggested/chooseable standard font as a replacement
or c) embed the full font (only if the font permits it). Pros and cons of each
choice should be explained in the online help.

--- Comment #40 from Thorsten Behrens (CIB)  ---
I wonder how much of this is a bug, vs. a user experience deficiency.

Technically, LibreOffice _could_ embed the entire font, for those that don't
prohibit that in the font flags (N.B. most Windows fonts do _not_ permit that).
The drawback is a significant increase in PDF size, especially for short 1-2
page forms (fonts with good unicode coverage are easily 2-10MB in size).

For fonts where LibreOffice cannot embed more than a subset, several options
come to mind:
* leave things as they are, and perhaps issue a warning during export
(suggesting users to pick one of the 12 standard PDF fonts)
* try to be smart & embed a subset that matches the language selected at the
text at hand
* always fallback to Helvetia (or something) for PDF forms

I think you have no issue because your Forms in that PDF use "Helvetica",
that's one of the 14 standard fonts, and all readers have a copy of this font
locally.

So, in my opinion, this does not show this is a regression. If you had a PDF
form created with an old version of Libre/OpenOffice with a non-standard font
for input fields embedded, then we would have a regression.

Not in LO. Export document in LO to PDF, and add this small script with a
PDF-editor. I used Master PDF Editor (Document>Document Javascript).

Workaround... add this script to exported PDF as a top-level document
JavaScript:

function updateFields() {
  for ( var fieldNumber = 0; fieldNumber < this.numFields; fieldNumber++) {
getField(getNthFieldName(fieldNumber)).textFont = font.Helv;
  }
}
updateFields();

Other fonts:
Times-Roman   = font.Times
Times-Bold= font.TimesB
Times-Italic  = font.TimesI
Times-BoldItalic  = font.TimesBI
Helvetica = font.Helv
Helvetica-Bold= font.HelvB
Helvetica-Oblique = font.HelvI
Helvetica-BoldOblique = font.HelvBI
Courier   = font.Cour
Courier-Bold  = font.CourB
Courier-Oblique   = font.CourI
Courier-BoldOblique   = font.CourBI
Symbol= font.Symbol

This is a regression.

Screenshot of the example file in Acrobat Reader, Chrome and Edge

Still occurs, I get a warning from Acrobat Reader that the LiberationSans font
is missing and some characters won't show up appropriately.
Indeed the form field shows lots of characters as dots.

This is on a machine without any LibreOffice installed. Reinstallation (which
includes the missing font) solves this problem.

Interestingly, web browsers can replace missing fonts rather reliably.

--- Comment #30 from QA Administrators  ---
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50879

--- Comment #29 from airbuff  ---
macOS 10.13.4
Libreoffice 5.2.7.2

The issue shows up here too.

Repro:
- Create writer document
- Add form elements (I use text fields and checkboxes)
- Make sure the form elements use a non standard font that would have to be
embedded when exporting as PDF
- Make sure File/Properties/Font embed fonts is checked
- save
- file/export as pdf
- under "General" options, make sure "Create PDF Form" is ticked
- Export

- Open PDF in Acrobat Reader
- Open File/Properties
- check "Font" tab
- find the used font

Expected:
Font is found as we embedded it.

Actual:
"Actual Font: Unknown"

the issue doe *not* show up choosing the "Archive PDF/A-1a..." option in export
PDF dialogue. Unfortunately this option does not allow to "Create PDF Form",
which is mandatory for us.

--- Comment #28 from kevin.quig...@gmail.com ---
This bug is still present in Version: 6.0.2.1 (running on Ubuntu Linux 16.04). 
As a workaround, I installed the Arial font on my Linux system and used this
font for the form fields.

Some additional experiments using Liberation Serif font showed that even when
the font is present as an embedded subset it fails to display properly in form
fields, even though it properly displays in the rest of the document.

I am observing this problem as well in version 5.4.0.3 on Debian.

I would be happy if there was a way to set the form control's font to one of
the standard 14 PostScript fonts so that there is no need to embed anything. I
just need the form controls to be readable.

(In reply to schlittchen from comment #1)
 Create a form on Linux, export as PDF, open it using (for example)
 Acrobat Reader on Windows. You get a message about missing fonts
 (LiberationSans
 in my case). The static text shows ok, but the form fields only show
 placeholder chars when filled.

when you say placeholder chars, what does that entail? Do you mean the same
glyphs but in a different font, just rectangles, or?

 
 This makes the creation of cross-platform PDF-forms effectivly impossible.

Yep, it's important for me to understand the impact of this bug so we can
properly triage it. Thanks!

 The problem is that the font used for input fields (default is Liberation
 Sans) needs to be embedded completely, but isn't. My guess is that the
 algorithm that decides which fonts to embed does not account for form input
 fields correctly.

Bug is still there under LibreOffice Writer 4.2.63 running on Linux Ubuntu
14.04 LTS and Windows 8.1. Only a font subset is embeded even when font is used
in a formular. So if user trying to fillout the formular has not installed font
he is unable to proceed.

The document you attached is not a form, just a text.

The problem is that the font used for input fields (default is Liberation Sans)
needs to be embedded completely, but isn't. My guess is that the algorithm that
decides which fonts to embed does not account for form input fields correctly.

I attached a test form odt and the exported pdf:

$ pdffonts test.pdf
name type  encoding emb sub
uni object ID   
 -  --- ---
--- -   
BA+LiberationSerif   TrueType  WinAnsi  yes yes
yes 13  0   
LiberationSans   TrueType  WinAnsi  no  no 
no  15  0

TESTING on Ubuntu 12.04.3 with
LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.1

(In reply to comment #0)
 Form exported to pdf use a font 'LiberationSans' (Linux) or 'SegoeUI'
 (Windows) but do not embed this font. This makes the exported pdf unusable
 any platform that does not provide the font in question - form created under
 Linux are unsable under Windows and vice versa.

Well that's kinda bad! :P

 A very simple example form created under Linux without any bells and
 whistles:
 
 ~$ pdffonts testformular.pdf 
 name type  emb sub uni object ID
  - --- --- --- -
 BA+LiberationSerif   TrueType  yes yes yes 14  0
 LiberationSans   TrueType  no  no  no  16  0

Ok. I took a stock 'Hello, World' ODT and changed the font to use
LiberationSerif and LiberationSans (attachment 91168).

I then exported it to PDF (The only options checked were Range - All, Images
- Lossless compression, General - Create PDF form, and General - Export
comments): attachment 91169.

Here's what pdffonts says:

qubit@lo:~/libreoffice/bugs/50879$ pdffonts Hello.world_4.2.0.1.pdf 
name type  emb sub uni object ID
 - --- --- --- -
BA+LiberationSerif   TrueType  yes yes yes 14  0
CA+LiberationSansTrueType  yes yes yes  9  0

It appears that both fonts are properly embedded, so NOREPRO.

---

I'm going to resolve this as WORKSFORME, but if you can reproduce the problem
under a modern build of LibreOffice, please change status back to UNCONFIRMED.

Schlittchen: You can get a stable build from here:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/
And latest pre-releases from here:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Cheers!

--- Comment #2 from Oho daniel.nede...@holotron.ro ---
You might save the file as PDF/A-1a.

From LibreOffice Help, by following this choice, the program Converts [the
file] to the PDF/A-1a format. This is defined as an electronic document file
format for long term preservation. All fonts that were used in the source
document will be embedded into the generated PDF file. PDF tags will be
written.

So, all fonts, not only the standard fonts, will be embedded into the
generated PDF file. Maybe you dont want the tags, but you get them, as well.

Of course, the Export as PDF .../General dialogue could reveal more about
the meaning of the PDF/A-1a choice.

The standard fonts from the Embed standard fonts choice, are the 14
standard Postscript fonts, according to LibreOffice Help.

The choice Embed standard fonts would lead to the embedding of all your
document fonts if and only if you are using only [some of] these fonts as fonts
in your documents.

--- Comment #4 from Oho daniel.nede...@holotron.ro ---
The Export as PDF .../General dialogue should be less cryptic about the
meaning of these two choices:

Perhaps:

- the embed standard fonts shoud be replaced by embed the 14 standard
Postscript fonts.

- the PDF/A-1a should be replaced by embed all used fonts and all tags.

Also, the Embed standard fonts subtitle under the title General tab entry
in the help, could be augmented by defining the 14 Postscript standard fonts,
something like:

Specific common Type 1 fonts installed as a part of the Adobe Acrobat
installation:

- 4 versions [regular, bold, italic or oblique, and bold italic] of Times (v3)
or Times New Roman PS MT (v4.x)
- 4 versions [regular, bold, italic or oblique, and bold italic] of Helvetica
(v3) or Arial MT (v4.x)
- 4 versions [regular, bold, italic or oblique, and bold italic] of Courier - 4
versions
- Symbol
- Zapf Dingbats

--- Comment #1 from schlittc...@uni-bremen.de ---
The problem is still there in 4.0.2.2. It is easy to reproduce:

Create a form on Linux, export as PDF, open it using (for example)
Acrobat Reader on Windows. You get a message about missing fonts
(LiberationSans
in my case). The static text shows ok, but the form fields only show
placeholder chars when filled. Choosing to embed standard fonts while exporting
does not
help.

This makes the creation of cross-platform PDF-forms effectivly impossible.
