  • Text rendering issues when exporting Writer documents with embedded SVGs to PDF
    • Saving without an explicit AA flag is still an issue
    • Fixed that - adding another flag specifically for subpixel AA
  • LibreOffice crash during paste
  • desktop read-only mode
    • Stages 1 and 2 are both done technically (the patches are in review)
    • re-think why some checks in code were needed - replaced them with SDI flags, and fixed the places that needed to check these flags
    • Only ADMX is left - on it
  • Collabora destroying formulas
    • Some mentoring
  • TTT

PDF Form filled in PDF are not seen when Printing from COOL

  • Changed copying to also copy over the widgets in /Annots array and adds the widget annotations to the /AcroForms catalog dictionary
    • widgets can be hierarchical - handle that correctly
    • in /AcroForms only top-level widgets need to be added - search which one is top-level and remember them when adding widgets
  • Now can be correctly opened with a PDF reader supporting forms, especially important - Adobe Acrobat
  • Added a test to check the widgets are copied over

Few slides does not show the text content while in presentation mode

  • Sometimes the auto text is not correct
  • Debugged and figured out what’s wrong
  • Need to set the page background before rendering to the outliner
    • after this it seems to works correctly

SlideShow Rework: Bug: some paragraphs can missing in the editor after animating text.

  • When we set the visibility flag on primitives, we need to eventually set it back to the original state
  • Added that, but couldn’t reproduce the issue in the bug, so hope it is fixed

Next: back to PDF 2.0 or slideshow rework
