Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I totally agree, these tools need to be fixed.

I reported the issue to one of the projects more than two years ago. I’m
still waiting for a message about the issue report.

In Windows (and I guess in macOS), saving a copy with Acrobat Reader DC
seems to unify both objects.

But I’m afraid Acrobat for Linux is too old for that (9.5.5).

Many thanks for your help,
