When a DOCX document containing an SVG image (e.g. a vector logo or coat of arms) is exported to PDF, the SVG is rasterized instead of being preserved as a vector object. The result is a blurry, low-quality image in the PDF, especially noticeable when zooming in or printing.
Steps to reproduce:
- Insert an SVG image into a DOCX document.
- Export / Save As PDF.
- Open the resulting PDF — the SVG appears pixelated/blurry.
Expected behavior:
SVG images should be embedded as vector graphics in the PDF output, just as Microsoft Word does.
Actual behavior:
SVG is converted to a low-resolution raster image before being written to the PDF.
Environment:
- OS: Linux
- App: ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors
This issue has also been reported in GitHub issue #2762 (DocumentServer). A partial fix was mentioned in v8.2.1 changelog, but the problem still occurs for many SVG files. Please implement proper SVG-to-PDF vector passthrough.
