Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer

When Trying to export a document ino a PDF file, under the "Security" tab, you can restrict some permissions to the pdf file. When clicking "Set permission password", it says the password can be empty, but when setting an empty password, the permissions options are inchangable!

Only when using non-empty password the options are available.

Upstream's openoffice.org 2.4.0~rc2 doesn't have the text that claims you can have an empty password so it apparently a bug somewhere in ooo-build.

I can confirm this issue in 2.4.1 (Intrepid).
Otherwise, it's fixed in OOo 3.0rc2 because it doesn't allow you to set blank passwords.

There is no indication as to why this bug report is closed, which would be helpful for the bug reporter and any other subscribers, so I'm setting it back to Triaged until some information is provided.

This is actually mine.

Is says an empty password is allowed in the sense that leaving the password empty & clicking OK will not launch the password warning dialog. IOW, the password input box itself allows empty password, but the parent PDF dialog itself does not.

To change this, we need additional flag to toggle display of the "empty password is allowed" text message in the password input dialog so that the message can be hidden if desired.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Only 4-years late! but better later than never.

This is now fixed on master and suse-3.6 branches of LibreOffice, and sent a review request to gerrit for 4.0 inclusion.
