Dear Robert, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Created attachment 170417 [details] Libreoffice PDF export that demonstrates the increase in size and slow performance Dear all, I try to promote within my workplace the use of free software including LibreOffice. I noticed that if I embed an SVG logos of 400 KiB in an otherwise empty ODT and export this to a PDF, than the PDF has 13MB and many PDF readers (if not all) suffer from huge performance issues in rendering the PDF. I have tried the following PDF readers: 1. Okular (KDE Linux) 2. Acrobat Reader (Windows) 3. Firefox (Linux, I can literally see the individually steps of the logo painting) I would instead expect that the PDF is under 1MB and loads as fast as a PDF file stemming from the Inkscape SVG to PDF export. I assume that the SVG logo uses some features (like gradients) that the LibreOffice export does not handle efficiently.
