            Bug ID: 165947
           Summary: Draw - "export PDF immediately" is very slow and
                    stalls LO
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.8.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
I use draw to sign pdf documents, adding a signature bitmap on them. (Ubuntu
22.04/ LO 24.8)
Using this “export immediately as pdf” function (from the file menu) results in
open office stalling and taking ages to export the document to pdf (about 10s
per page!). If trying to use any another app of LO, you have an extremely
annoying quit/wait message which pops up which you must click on every few
seconds, otherwise the pdf export never happens.
I just lost an hour in front of my laptop just to sign 3 documents.
This happens also with impress (odp and pptx) and writer files (docx and odt).
I see two possibilities:

    1. correct this very immature behaviour, which seems to exist since 2005 ?!
    2. deprecate/suppress this export function whatsoever and make users use
the in-system pdf printer. Which I will do in the future.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.file ==> export directly as pdf
2.
3.

Actual Results:
very slow delivery of pdf (about 15s/page). if accessing another LO app at the
same time, LO stalls, forcing to click a quit/wait message box every 10 seconds
for ever.
PDF seems correct

Expected Results:
fast delivery of pdf, other Lo apps usable


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I did not check other functionality of created pdf
