Title:
  libreOffice: PDF/A fobids transparency

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Mint17 kde 64-bit

  Problem happens with pretty much any document, including a blank page
  set to 7x9 with 1 inch margins.

  Click File->export PDF

  Check PDF/A box then click export/ok, choose file name, etc.

  Will create a PDF file which has actual content, but throws up error
  dialog stating:

  PDF/A forbids transparency. A transparent object was painted opaque
  instead.

  Happens every time.

  This also causes various printer drivers to crash/gag on documents
  thanks to Apple's worthless decision to use PDF instead of the
  incredibly stable Postscript standard.
