--- Comment #9 from John Parker <[email protected]> ---
This bug is vexatious. I write lots of procedures that require statements of
the type "See Step n of 'procedureName' on page m". For these I create
cross-references to n, 'procedureName' and m. The cross-references in
LibreOffice Writer always work. However with PDF files exported by Writer, the
cross-referenced links for ordered lists and page numbers do not always work.

With ordered lists, @tutralex has shown that cross-references to list numbers
having less than two digits don't work. Test document test3.pdf and its
associated exported PDF file show that cross references to alphabetical lists
don't work for list labels with less than two characters. Some page number
cross-references are not working either. I had assumed that the reason was page
numbers with less than two digits. However it seems that the page number
reference must be at the end of the last sentence of a paragraph.

A workaround for these problems isn't immediately forthcoming. But wait! You
can export the Writer file to Word 365 and use that to export to a PDF fle. All
links work. But having to use Word and buying into Adobe's once every 30 days
Word to PDF converter, that's just rude. Come on LibreOffice—fix the bug or
Writer will go the way of WordPerfect.
