#15 Exporting to PDF an edited PDF file only exports the edits
I have a PDF file created by a print-to-file option in evince.
I edit it with xournal and insert some images and text.
When I print-to-file or export-to-pdf, the resulting document contains only the added images and text, not the original text.
How do I avoid this?
this is a dupe of https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/142/
I have seen this many times over the years and now finally decided to report.
moreover, when I save the file as
*.xojand open it again, I see the same as in pdf - only my additions, nothing from the original file.how to reproduce: open pdf, edit, then export to the SAME file, agreeing to overwrite.
now, even though the screen is fine, the original data is lost and will not appear even if you print to file, export to pdf to a new file, or same to
xoj.work around -- same to a NEW file name and then rename in shell.
This bug got fixed in October 2015.

Bug #160: avoid data corruption when export-to-PDF overwrites the PDF
being annotated (but warn the user nonetheless).

If your distribution isn't up to date, please ask the maintainer to
update. Meanwhile, you can grab release 0.4.8.2016 which includes this
and several other bugfixes.
