Title: [bug] 1.5.0 loses character style assignment of PDF input fields
Post by: a_valued_customer on July 13, 2015, 10:34:23 AM
Hello,

we have a 2 page PDF document that is being enhanced with some PDF input fields. Unfortunately the formatting (in this case the font size through a character style) of the PDF input fields is lost when Scribus is restarted.

Steps to reproduce:


Thanks for a really cool program!

Edit: you don't need to restart Scribus. Just reload the file

Edit 2: it seems that character styles assigned to a PDF input field are not saved at all. However a paragraph style is saved correctly. So I can persist the correct settings for PDF input fields. Maybe the assignment for a character style should be disabled in the UI for PDF fields to avoid confusion (or the assignment should be saved, but I guess disabling it, is less work)

I think this may be a limitation of PDF forms, not a limitation of Scribus.

Since the content of a PDF form field will be rendered by the PDF viewer, not Scribus, this means the form field can not support all features of Scribus but only those features defined by the PDF specification.
