Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When exporting a document as pdf, the ending .pdf is automatically
attached to the filename and if a file with that name already exists, it
is overwritten, but there is no warning. If the filename is given
explicitly with the ending .pdf, then there is a warning that a file
will be overwritten.
Reproduce:
- Export a document as pdf. Choose the name "foobar"
- The file will be saved as "foobar.pdf"
- Change the file and export it again, choose "foobar" as name
- The new pdf will also have the filename "foobar.pdf" and thus overwrite the
old file without warning
