Public bug reported: I am printing a letter which is linked to an address database and where the address has a blank field I have used the character * to represent a blank line and have LibreOffice close up the line. I have tried this on Kubuntu 14.04 and cups-pdf 2.6.1-9 and I get the result I wanted,each address to be 'printed' on a separate 'pdf' document.
The problem OS is Kubuntu 16.04 and cups-pdf 2.6.1-21 where the result I get is the address with the * in the address. I have attached the .ods spreasheet file with the addresses in The 'odb database file of the addresses to be used The 'document' which uses the linked spreadsheet file One of the resulting 'wrong' pdf 'letters' One of the resulting 'correct' pdf 'letters' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: cups-pdf 2.6.1-21 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-51.54~16.04.1-generic 4.8.17 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-51-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Wed May 17 22:51:23 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-30 (16 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: cups-pdf UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: cups-pdf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Attachment added: "LO Spreadsheet file of addresses" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691577/+attachment/4878601/+files/Derby%20Councillors.ods -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691577 Title: Error when printing address database to letter document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/1691577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
