            Bug ID: 141406
           Summary: Forms do not work with PDF/DOCX
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sexxxenator at gmail.com

Exact version : LibreOffice 7.1.1.2 10(Build:2)

I've experimented with forms recently and the results were pretty bad:

- I found only VERY basic documentation on the web about Forms, and most are
for old versions of LOo. One specific question referred to upgrading to LOo7
where froms were supposed to work a lot better. This is not the case :{

- Only background color of From Components can be changed, thus
  - Export to pdf result in unreadable Text (see attached picture right-top ;
there is text typed in the field, I defy anyone to read it!) and unreadable
checkbox (see attached picture right top-below text field ; one of the rbuttons
is checked, I defy anyone to tell me which one it!), when one wants to invert
colors of Form Controls (who wants a big black pie in the middle of a Writer
doc as a small field for the username?)
   - Export to docx seems to work at first: I managed to produce a fillable &
"pretty" document & sent it to one of these annoying colleagues that use MS
Word-only. Unfortunately, when the doc came back, I was unable to locate which
of the rbuttons were filled, even in a dirty manner (see attached picture
left)... Same document worked like a charm in MS Word.
