--- Comment #3 from Callegar <[email protected]> --- If you use `insert → image` from the menu, and you insert the PDF image in the page rather than as the background of the page, then the PDF export works properly maintaining the vector nature of the image. Hence, the behavior for the background image is at best not consistent and from a user point of view it is really quite confusing why `Page → Set image as background` should use pdfium in a different way from `insert → image`. Furthermore, if you insert an SVG image as the background, then the PDF export also works properly. So again there is an inconsistency in how LibO treats two different vector formats. Because SVG support is in some cases better than PDF support (maybe in part due to the pdfium migration, that brought much more faithful conversion of PDF files to bitmaps but otherwise weakened the treatment of PDF files as a vector format) I would like to take the occasion to suggest readers who may stumble in this same issue or in other issues with PDF import to consider conversion to SVG before the import (there are many fine open source tools for that, from `dvisvgm` to `inkscape`). Is there a [META] bug for PDF image management? I see 113122. Would that be appropriate as a tracking bug for this? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
