Summary 0008370: Inline Render Frames Don't Always Export Properly to PDF
Description If I have an inline render frame (we use these to render mathematical formulas inline in a regular scribus text frame) and export to pdf with the experimental "Embed EPS/PDF" feature checked, I often find the render frame does not appear in the final pdf. The items are there, but seem to be drawn in the background colour so they are invisible.

I notice there is code in pdflib_core.cpp that seems to be designed to address precisely this problem because it is commented "add default graphics stack parameters pdftex relies on them" -- however that code is never executed in the case of an inline render frame.

I have attached a 1-line patch which prevents the skipping of that code when dealing with any render frame. I'm not sure if that's the "right" solution but it works well for us.
Steps To Reproduce Create a LaTeX frame. Copy it into a text frame as an inline frame. Export to PDF with "Embed EPS/PDF Graphics" selected. Observe the LaTeX code doesn't appear.
Additional Information Patch is attached.
Tags No tags attached.
