PDF-Export: Grouped option button looses helptext information
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
See attached document: - option buttons yes / no are grouped (same name), both have different help texts - option buttons A / B / C are not grouped, also have different help texts - exporting the document to PDF, the option buttons yes and no get both the same help texts, option buttons A / B / C are ok Not sure, if this is a limitation of the pdf-format itself?
Created attachment 66063 [details] sample document with several option buttons
Created attachment 66064 [details] pdf-export
@HI: Please have a look.
Confirmed
actually the correct text is in the PDF, only Acrobat reader insists on showing the text of the first radio button in the group ... still searching as to why.
Acrobat itself exports the tooltips (and tons of other stuff) as XFA (meaning there is a special embedded XML stream describing each form control). Unfortunately this is a feature that came in with PDF-1.5 whereas OOo does PDF-1.4. Since the tooltip is now given by the /TU entry for each widget and that entry is correct for each RadioButton, there is no valid solution until we switch to PDF-1.5 as export format. Which we should do at some point (for lots of reasons), but not in a 3.3 timeframe I fear.
