            Bug ID: 131026
           Summary: Printing a Document containing an embedded PDF with
                    vector graphics using the CommonPrintingDialog results
                    in fuzzy bitmaps
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: leopoldjulius at gmail.com

Description:
Printing documents with embedded vector graphics results in poor print quality
when using the CommonPrintingDialog. A workaround involves using the `File >
Export As > Export directly as PDF` functionality.

The use case is printing electronic postage stamps (matrix barcode), which are
supplied as PDF documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create empty Writer document
2. Import a PDF Document with vectors (can be created in inkscape for example)
3a. Print document using the CommonPrintingDialog
3b. export document as PDF using `File > Export as > Export as PDF...

Actual Results:
either PDF document with bitmapped vectors
or printed document with fuzzy vectors

Expected Results:
either PDF document with original quality as embedded PDF
or printed document with crisp edges 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes
