PDFs with WordArt gradients are not shown correctly in LibreOffice Draw

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Hi! I’ve noticed that LibreOffice Draw 24.8.4.2 has issues with displaying WordArt gradients from PDF files: they get converted to series of rectangles stacking on each other, tiny ones.

Here how it looks like if I move some of this rectangles:

I understand that some people can say that if I want to edit PDF then I should go to Inkscape given that it doesn’t have such a problem. But my point is not to trash LibreOffice Draw, but to let developers know that there is such an issue, and they can fix it (if they want) and when they do so.

issues with displaying WordArt gradients

Old problem: Exporting gradients from Draw to SVG also lack perfection. It seems to be a general problem in handling gradients for some purposes. IMO there are some bug/feature postings in Bugzilla. Probably @Regina can better explain…
