Bitmap charts background not exported in PDF
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:19:36 UTC
I recently discovered that if you set a bitmap background for a calc chart, leave the chart in calc or paste it in other documents (writer or draw), then export as pdf, the bitmap background of the chart is completely lost: in the pdf file your chart will have a transparent background (or a white background, I tried it on white paper so I cannot tell). The workaround is to paste the bitmap in draw together with the chart, put one above the other, group the two objects and used them together.
Sorry, can't reproduce with the current (OOO300_m4) Version and Reader 8. Bitmaps and Hatching works fine for Chart Wall and Chart Area.
