Invisible raster images in exported PDF

[Gwendal]

In some cases, if I save an SVG file created with Inkscape into a PDF file, a subset of the embedded raster images are invisible in the resulting PDF.

I have attached an example of SVG causing the problem.

Inkscape version: 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06)

To reproduce:
- download the attached file (mde.svg)
- open in inkscape
- save as -> pdf
- open the pdf file

Expected result: a PDF with all the content of the SVG
Obtained result: a PDF where some of the embedded raster images are invisible

confirmed on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06)

I believe the issue is related to masked objects not appearing in PDF.

The issue can be resolved by entering each group of text and image, ungrouping the clipped groups (removing the clip), then unlinking the image-clones.

Then the PDF copy will present properly.
