Export to PDF File with Drone Image

Hello.
I have a project with a georeferenced drone image as the background (tiff).
On the software screen, the image appears perfectly, with only the image cropped, and the rest is transparent. However, when I export to PDF, the previously transparent background is now completely black. I've tried changing the color to white, but the black remains; only the border changes color.

In software like AutoCAD, I can crop the image to avoid this type of problem. Is there an alternative to Irricad that allows me to work with a background image without the black spot?

Unfortunately the PDF renderer doesn't handle image transparency.

The options to work around this are:-
Install a PDF printer driver that does handle image transparency, then use File|Print and select the specific PDF printer
or
Edit the image outside of IRRICAD to make the background white and not transparent.
