Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82414
"Hidden text" (field) printed when displayed as formatting aid
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:49 UTC
The content of hidden text fields is printed and exported to PDF when the option Formatting aids - Display of - Fields: Hidden text is set, even if they should be hidden (condition is true). How to reproduce: 1. Have some text and mark a portion of it. 2. Insert -> Fields -> Other... -> Functions - Type: Hidden text - Condition: "TRUE". Click Insert (and Close). 3. In Tools -> Options... -> OOo Writer -> Formatting Aids, section Display of, check the option "Fields: Hidden Text". Click OK. 4. Hidden text is now displayed (grey, if field shadings are activated), even though condition "TRUE" is always true (which is OK). 5. Check with File -> Page preview: Hidden text is not displayed (which is OK, too). 6. Close the preview, print the document, and export it to PDF. Expected: Hidden text fields do not appear in the paper print, nor in the PDF file (= as the preview). Seen: Hidden text fields are printed and exported to PDF, even when condition is true. Double-check: In Tools -> Options... -> OOo Writer -> Formatting Aids, section Display of, now uncheck the option "Fields: Hidden Text", and print again: hidden text fields are not printed (nor included into a PDF). OOo 2.3.0 (B9221) and OOo 680_m231 under Linux (both RPM, and both de_DE and en_US), OOo 2.3.0 (B9221) under Win2000 (de_DE).

I did all your steps but couldn't reproduce. (suse linux). Please provide a *.odt and one pdf file to evaluate. Thanks.
Created attachment 48783 [details] Dummy text, first 2 paragraphs are "hidden text" (field).
Created attachment 48784 [details] The same document, exported to PDF (with option "show hidden text" active).
