Description Emil Prpic 2023-05-22 23:14:14 UTC
Description:
Vector images in single-page PDF format inserted into an ODT document (anchor to paragraph, no wrap, center aligned, cropped) are shown as blank space (of correct dimensions) in PDF generated by Export PDF function. In PDF generated by macOS system functionality (through print dialog, click on "PDF" in lower left corner), everything is fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make some text in Writer
2.click insert / image 
3.choose a single page PDF generated by a vector drawing software (AutoCAD in my case, didn't try with others)
4.click PDF export icon on toolbar
5.open the created PDF and look for the image

Actual Results:
No image, just blank space

Expected Results:
There should be image that you inserted


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Exporting attachment 187442 [details] to PDF manifests the reported problem in:

Version: 7.4.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 723314e595e8007d3cf785c16538505a1c878ca5
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded


When opening attachment 187442 [details] under:

Version: 6.4.4.2
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

 ... the PDF images embedded in the document appear distorted in LO, and are present but very badly distorted in the exported PDF.

Set Status to NEW, earliest affected version to 7.4.7.2 (since thethere is a related bug in 6.4.4.2, but it's not identical).
