Description demo4 2021-03-28 19:42:21 UTC
Description:
The setting "Page numbers" in the "Page" tab for the "Page styles" is not transferred to the PDF export, such that the page number is displayed in arabic in a PDF viewer. The PDF file can be edited with Acrobat so that this display changes to e.g. romanic.

This feature (the display of actual page number) is not unique to Acrobat, many other PDF viewers also support it: Foxit, Evince, Firefox, Okular. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write some Text about multiple pages
2. Apply diffrent "Page numbers" in "Page styles", e.g. 'i, ii, iii, ...'
3. Click on button "Export Directly as PDF" and save it
4. open it in Acrobat, Firefox, Foxit, Evince or Okular

Actual Results:
The page number display will appear in arabic on Acrobat, Firefox, Foxit, Evince and Okular and definitely others too 

Expected Results:
The page number display should appear in the expected style, like romanic.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I realize that possibly not all styles that LO supports are also supported by PDF. However, the following are definitely supported:
i, ii, iii, ...
I, II, III, ...
a, b, c, ...
A, B, C, ... 

and
1, 2, 3, ...
But that's clear

This happens in LO Writer.

I confirm the lack of this and it seems straightforward, so accepting.
