Description gvfarns 2003-03-17 03:32:47 UTC 
When printing a document that has "Show Field" enabled (view->fields), writer
asks if you if you want to print the field names. That's good.  When exporting
as a pdf, however, it just prints it out with field names.  It should probably
ask you, as it does with print jobs.

Comment 4 gvfarns 2003-09-19 22:12:06 UTC 
problem persists in 1.1rc4.  I'm tempted to mark it as a defect
because the user does not expect the exported version to contain the
name of the field instead of its value.

Definitely a defect, but went away with 1.1.1a

I have confirmed the problem with the attachments under OpenOffice 1.1 for
Windows and 1.1 Linux/Intel.  But the problem does not exist in OpenOffice
1.1.1a / Windows....

I stumbled on this bug (and this bug report!) because I had the same problem
whereas I was creating a document where I used fields such as
"DocInformation:Title", "Page Numbers" and "Statistics" and they were all being
exported as the field string name instead of it's value - making both the fields
and the PDF export useless.  There must had been some kind of bug where fields
are not evaluated before being passed to the PDF Export function.

I've changed a few fields (status, subcomponent, version, issue type) in this
bug report since it was getting stale...
