Hi, there are no reproducible steps I can give because it is an erratic bug,
but it happens frequently, and has just happened in the document I've just
saved. My first PDF was over 300 Mb, I saved again and it was 30 Mb. As you'll
have seen in my initial comments, precisely the same sequence of actions will
produce different outcomes.
I think you need to recognise that there are a good many very serious erratic
bugs in LibreOffice for which no reproducible steps can be given, yet which
occur regularly, and closing such bugs is very unhelpful: what's needed is a
status that you can set that marks it as a serious but erratic so that it can
be kept a watch for and in mind as people constantly work on the code.
As to the system it's just occurred on, it is -
Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded
I can say that the PDF is more likely to come out correctly after closing and
opening the program and exporting it with no action on the file, and that even
a slight edit of a single word before exporting may cause the PDF to be 300Mb
rather than 30Mb. But equally it may not.
Many thanks,
David
