Bug ID: 173098
Summary: DOCX footer barcode is not rendered in LibreOffice
Writer and is missing in exported PDF, while displayed
correctly in Microsoft Word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Issue Description:
A DOCX document contains a barcode located in the footer section.
When the document is opened in Microsoft Word, the barcode is displayed
correctly. However, when the same DOCX document is opened in LibreOffice
Writer, the barcode is not rendered and only the underlying barcode text value
is shown.
Additionally, when the document is exported to PDF from LibreOffice Writer, the
generated PDF does not contain the barcode. Instead, the footer shows plain
text or the barcode is missing entirely.
This causes a visual and functional difference between Microsoft Word rendering
and LibreOffice rendering/PDF export.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the attached DOCX document in Microsoft Word.
2.Navigate to the footer section.
3.Observe that the barcode is rendered correctly.
4.Close Microsoft Word.
5.Open the same DOCX document in LibreOffice Writer.
6.Navigate to the footer section.
7.Observe that the barcode is not rendered correctly and appears as plain
text.
8.Export the document using:
File → Export as PDF
9.Open the exported PDF.
10.Observe that the barcode is missing/not rendered in the PDF output.
Actual Results:
*LibreOffice Writer does not render the barcode displayed in the DOCX
footer.
*Barcode appears as plain text or loses barcode formatting.
*PDF exported from LibreOffice also does not contain the barcode.
*Rendering differs from Microsoft Word.
Expected Results:
*LibreOffice Writer should render the footer barcode identically to
Microsoft Word.
*Exported PDF should preserve the barcode exactly as displayed in the source
DOCX.
*DOCX import and PDF export should maintain barcode fidelity and visual
compatibility.
