I thought it might be, because of some wrong settings. After endless trying, I opened a completely new document, created a small sqaure, coloured it, exported it. It was there in PDF. Then i made it bigger, covered the whole page. When I exported it this time as a PDF, it was gone. All I got was a white sheet. It didn't matter if it was a text field, an image frame or a painted object, everytime it was gone when i made it big enough.

Hi Sandra,

I just tried this with 1.4.9svn and 1.5.6svn, and cannot duplicate your results. What you might do is file a bug report, and upload examples of what you're seeing. Is there any possibility it has something to do with your PDF viewer?
