I imagine this is one of those un-wanted side-effects from the conversion of our print output from Postscript (where we could just drop the EPS in) to PDF (where we cannot). That change also substantially improved printed speed and quality for transparency I imagine so ...
To turn that back into a development discussion - using ghostscript out-of-process, like we do it for xpdf/poppler, to convert (e)ps into something digestible by LibreOffice is one of the long-pending solutions to that problem. That needs a fair bit of hacking, but would love to provide you or anyone else interested with code pointers.
Either way sorry for the hassle; the hope is that the SVG rendering will eventually get good enough that it will provide a good solution here.
Depending on the svg features used, yeah. Filters like blur etc. likely will take a fair while to *not* get broken down to rendered bitmaps. Cheers, -- Thorsten
