I was exporting a document based on a template to PDF. It correctly assigned the filename to match the document file name. When I opened the PDF document, the title of the PDF is reported as the base templates name, rather than the document's file name. Also, that might be a good field to allow the user to customize on creation, as it might be different than that the original file name is anyway.
I cannot reproduce this. It only happens if you don't save the document first (ie. if you're still working off an unsaved document and therefore the document doesn't have a name, only has the name of the template). Marking as WORKSFORME. If you are experiencing this even after saving the document as a .odt (based off of the ott template). Reopen as UNCONFIRMED and attach a template that you are hitting this snag with -- a template that we can just open, add some text, save as odt, export as pdf and see that the file name is based on the name of the template. Many thanks for your patience and support
Definitely is a problem. It was a document I had been editing for over a week, so it's definitely saved. Tried it on a my "base" templated, which really just has the margins changed to 0.5" as well as a copy of the basic default document -- happens with both.
Created attachment 69850 [details] Template
Created attachment 69851 [details] Test file based on template
Created attachment 69852 [details] PDF with error PDF Title is the template name, not the document name.
So, I tried to reproduce in Ubuntu and found the difference. In Ubuntu, when you export to PDF, it leaves the "PDF Title" field as empty. So when you open it up in PDF-Xchange, it shows the file name as the title. When you export on windows, it populates that field in the PDF with the template name rather than leaving it blank. I would think a better default behavior would be to leave it blank in windows as well. Of course, the ideal would be to allow the user to give values to these fields when exporting the PDF as well.
Confirmed with: LO 4.0.2.2 Build ID: own W7 debug build Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit Open .ott file, go to File>Properties>Description - the Title is taken from the name of ott. Therefore it will be exported as PDF title. If you save the file as odt, the title in properties won't change.
I asked this question on AskLO precisely because of this problem: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/17019/how-to-set-the-default-document-property-title-to/ Very much confirmed (I use LO on Linux Mint 13, Lubuntu 12.10, Win XP/SP3, and Win7).
reproducible on LO 4.0.3.3 (Win7 Home Premium 32bit), PDF properties viewed by PDF-Xchange
