            Bug ID: 139530
           Summary: FORMCONTROLS Text Box Vertical Alignment option
                    ignored during PDF export
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stiliyan at live.ca

Description:
When exporting a Writer document with Form Controls as a PDF, it appears that
the the export process is ignoring the value set in `Control Properties ->
Vert. Alignment`. The setting is obeyed within Writer itself (when I turn off
Design Mode), but in the PDF text entered in the fields is always centered
vertically, even when `Vert. Alignment` was set to top, bottom or default. So
far, I can confirm this is the case when PDF is viewed with Okular and Google
Chrome Browser.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the `Form Design` toolbar, click on the `Design Mode` button to enable
design mode.
2. In the `Form Controls` toolbar, select `Text Box`.
3. Click and drag anywhere in the Document to create the text box.
4. Right click on the text box and select `Control Properties`.
5. In the Properties dialog, scroll down to where the `Vert. Alignment` option
is, and try setting it to any value other than Middle or default.
6. Click on the `Export directly as PDF` button in the main toolbar.
7. Open the PDF with your favourite PDF viewer/editor (e.g. Okular, Google
Chrome); it may ask if it should show forms, confirm with yes.
8. Enter some text in the text box.
9. Then go into Print Preview

Actual Results:
In print preview, the text appears vertically aligned in the middle of the text
box, even though the value of `Vert. Alignment` was not set to middle.

Expected Results:
In print preview, the text should show up at the very top of the Text Box if
`Vert. Alignment` was set to top, or at the very bottom of the text box if it
was set to bottom.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
