I checked with "Nuovo OpenDocument - Testo.odt" and "2.4.1 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [680m17(Build9310)]", I can NOT confirm the reported effect, my own export looks fine. Also not reproducible with "2.4.0 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [680m12(Build9286)]" and "Ooo-dev 3.0.0 Beta Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [300m17 (Build9313)]" @giorgiodemontis: Pls. ocntribute information concerning your PDF export settings How does it look in printout? How does it look in PDF export from CALC? Also reproducible with other charts? Pls. check with 2.4.1 stable
I make other tests Chart damage happen with checked Option PDF/A-1 Export with PDf/A_1 unchecked seems works fine

I checked with "Ooo-dev 3.0.0 Beta Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [300m17 (Build9313)]" and can confirm the reported effect, same with "2.4.1 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [680m17(Build9310)]". Property 'PDF/A-1' in combination with chart type "Lines" (but not with "3D-Lines" or "Points Only" causes the bad result. Reason is some transparent object (no idea where it does come from) what seems to be forbidden in 'PDF/A-1' and modified to "opaque". A warning "PDF/A fobids transparency" appears with 3.0 So _currently_ I can not see any PDF export problem, but the question is where the transparent rectangle comes from. @giorgiodemontis: Can you please attach a CALC document with the chart?

my impression is this: problem is inside the pdf generator because a) damage come out when forcing ISO standard in converter (PDF/A-1) b) damage come out with some colors, not with all. Have a nice day Giorgio Demontis
Also reproducible with 2.4.1 and "080603testooo.ods"
HI->PL: Double to 88802 ?
Might be related to Issue 88802, but another question is why the chart might contain that transparent object? I can not see any reason for it.
I find where i created transparency. It is an option of data property. I attach a file setting 0 for transparency print works fine

The problem only s visible for dashed data lines. Additionally to the known bug reported in Issue 88802 I believe it's an additional problem that these transparent "ghost rectangles" will be created . This problem is not limited to Chart export. I did an additional test with "Nuovo OpenDocument - Testo.odt" after I modified data line "C" to "fine dotted" and "30% transparent". As expected, an other "ghost rectangle" has been created during PDF export with 'PDF/A-1' In my testfile "DRAW.odg" and "draw_transp.odg" (with tranparent circle lines, created with 2.4.1 WIN XP) with you find this transparent dotted tata line "C" copied / pasted from "Nuovo OpenDocument - Testo.odt" and some other graphic elements, that cause the same problem with 'PDF/A-1' if the lines are transparent/dotted. So I see this as a general GSL problem, different from Issue 88802

It's not really different from issue 88802, but the attached document uncovered a problem with that fix. Still, exporting a document with transparencies to PDF/A results in a big bitmap instead of line graphics; you'll get a document of better quality if you remove the transparencies in the first place. fixed in CWS vcl92
please verify in CWS vcl92
HI->FL: The fix of this issue depends from 88802
.
Set new target: OOo 3.2
Branch-date (feature- and code-freeze) for OOo 3.2 is nearly done. Therefore I change the target of this issue to OOo 3.x. If you think it is a stopper for OOo 3.2 please change the target back.
