A rectangle filled with patterns was not exported in pdf format.

Hi there,

I found that a rectangle using pattern fill disappears when exported as a PDF. However, the same object exports correctly in formats like JPG.

After testing, I noticed that the shape only becomes visible in the PDF when I increase the opacity to an abnormally high level. Overall, it seems like the opacity of pattern-filled shapes is being reduced a lot during PDF export, which does not match how it appears in Figma.

This looks like a bug. Hope it can be fixed soon. 🙏🏻️🙏🏻️
