Problematic DOC prints to virtual PDF printer as raster

Attached DOC has an explicit white page background. When printing to a virtual PDF printer (tested on Windows using Microsoft Print to PDF, and Foxit PDF Editor Printer) using default profile, it outputs the text as a raster image inside the PDF.

This is fixed (test is output normally, and is selectable in the PDF) by removing the page background. Also it is somehow fixed on my system by having these two lines in registrymodifications.xcu:

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Views/Windows/org.openoffice.Office.Views:WindowType['swriter/10336']/UserData"><prop oor:name="Data" oor:op="fuse" oor:type="xs:string"><value>V2,V,0,AL:(5,16,0/0/260/450,260;683)</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.frame.StartModule']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>625,65,1129,677;1;0,0,0,0;</value></prop></item>

The two lines look unrelated to the functionality, and I didn't try to really debug why they affect the output.

The problem is not reproducible using a brand new lorem ipsum document with manually defined white background.
