Sometimes, Draw crashes when working with PDF documents, Writer improves everything related to watermarks, i use watermarks in my documents, in Calc version 5.4.4 now includes support for dynamic tables.
The update includes more features, plus I have read that it could solve my problem in Draw.
Thanks for answering!
