Hi Hans-Peter, I've seen this before, I think. I think I solved it by removing the default names of the elements, or narrowing the boxes, or ... ? Abyway, I confirm this, also in 3.5.0rc1 1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer

3) What is expected to happen in Writer via the Terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/891522/+attachment/2600734/+files/testdocument.odt && lowriter -nologo testdocument.odt
and either:
File -> Print -> button OK
or:
File -> Print -> tab Options -> check checkbox Print to File
and the resulting print or PDF looks as it does in Writer.
4) What happens instead the print and PDF have text overlapping as in the PDF https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/891522/+attachment/2599557/+files/printout .
WORKAROUND: For printing, switch 'Printer Language Type' to PostScript.
WORKAROUND: For exporting PDF, use File -> Export as PDF.
I tested it with LO 4.4.0.0.beta1 (Win 8.1) with EXPORT AS PDF and with PRINT -> pdf printer. -> I could not reproduce it as it is seen in the pdf attachment (but I don't see the logo in the top left). This bug is already quite old. Therefore, is this issue for others still reproducible with the latest releases of LO? Or is this a Linux only issue? As of 2015-01-05, the issue still stands (see attached PDF printout). The added text seems to be the control's 'label' text. Emptying all 'label' properties, seems a good workaround. Still, the handling of PDF control 'labels' differs from screen an PS. Created attachment 111757 [details]

That was what I meant to say with my comment #3. Sorry if that was not clear ;) I am also affected by this. I wanted to add that it only occurs when ISO 19005-1 conformity is checked (which however is something preferred where I work. This is on 4.4.0.1 and 4.0.5 (regardless of OS). However, on current master (Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 57626f2132f73e4e42b31e364b25c5867336e718) the problem occurs irrespective of the selection of PDF/A-1a |

Created attachment 55048 [details] writer document with form elements Printing with printer language PDF or exporting to PDF a document with form elements, the resulting PDF has added further text to the side of form elements ('checkbox',...). Exporting to actual PDF forms, this does not happen. The graphical representation of the elements changes, however. Printing with printer language PS does not include that additional text either.
