Description: When adding a PDF file created in Scribus as a picture, the picture is shown in Libreoffice, but when you export it to a PDF file, the picture is removed and replaced with a white frame. I've tested in both Calc and Writer with the same results. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a PDF file in Scribus (example file attached). 2. Insert it into a Libreoffice document as a picture. 3. Export Libreoffice document as PDF. Actual Results: The exported PDF doesn't contain the image from the PDF file. It's just a white frame where it should be. Expected Results: When adding other PDF files the same way, they can be exported. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: This probably affects files from other PDF creation tools as well, but I've noticed it with Scribus.

I've done some more testing, and it seems like not all parts of the PDF files disappear. So far, I've noticed that it's fonts, patterns, pictures, and other PDF files embedded in the PDF file. I attach two new PDF files, converted to QDF format for easier understanding. One is created in Scribus and one is created in Libreoffice and contains the Scribus file. The Scribus PDF file contains: - A frame with a pattern - An image - A text frame saying "TEST", connected to a subsetted font - A green shape - An image frame with the previous PDF file embedded. What happens is that the resources needed to show some of these elements are not copied in the Libreoffice export. So, in this case the missing resources are: /Fo0, /Pattern9, /REI1 and /RE!4.

For the part of the PDF patterns, it seems like it's not exclusive to PDF files from Scribus and I can't get them to work with PDF files from other tools either. This part might be related to bug #131001. Other than that, it looks like Scribus uses more nested resources than the other PDF creators I've tried. Nothing seems to be wrong with those files, it's just that Libreoffice doesn't copy those resources. I've tried using some old versions, and it almost works in version 5.3.7.2, except for the patterns that are rendered incorrectly.
