When exporting a drawing with transparent background to PDF, the transparency is lost. I'm using OpenOffice 4.1.1 on Windows 7 Pro.
What kind of drawing? If I insert a gif image with a transparent background, the export PDF is correct. LO 4.4.5.1 and Lo 5.0.0.3 Win7/x86 Bernard

Dear Jean-Baptiste As you can see in the header I'm using Libreoffice 4.4.4.3 on windows 7. I wanted to say: I'm using also OpenOffice 4.1.1 (and the issue is the same). Kindest regards, Gianpaolo
Ok, so how do you see, on your test file, that the transparency is lost when exporting to pdf? Best regards. JBF
I will try to explain: I use the software Pdf-XChange Editor (http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor) that allows to view, edit and comment pdf documents. There are preinstalled stamps that can be stamped on any document, but there is also the possibility to create custom stamps. To make this you can use drawings in PDF format. If the PDF is not transparent you can see the white background under the stamp, see Stamps Example 01.pdf. By the way Inkscape exports transparency correctly . Kind regards, Gianpaolo

If this can help I found a work-around for this bug in the Openoffice forum that works also with Libreoffice. "https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=66631&hilit=pdf+transparent"
(In reply to Gianpaolo from comment #9) > Created attachment 117442 [details] > Stamps example Really ?
Sure, it works well.
I exported the odg from Draw to PDF and confirmed in Inkscape that the transparent parts have turned white. Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 902255645328efde34ddf62227c8278e8dd61ff0 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-07-30_03:52:07 Locale: en-US (fi_FI)

Bug still present; version info: Version: 6.3.4.2 Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Seems to be still reproducible in 6.4.3.2
Draw seems to export the "Document background" that is set in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Application colors - Document background". As this is not a document property, it should not be included in an export. (Unfortunately this configuration item cannot be set to 'transparent' - that could have been a workaround.)
Still reproducable in LO 7.4.3.2 under Windows 10(x64). Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ta-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
