The workaround for objects that doesn't render in the PDF output is to check the "Rasterize effects", for me it has worked flawlessly.

It has been my experience that pdf support isn't always that great in
non-Adobe products, so I would recommend trying adobe reader to see
where the problem lies (if adobe reader doesn't display it something
probably went wrong when exporting, if it does show it, chances are your
pdf viewer just doesn't support it). In general, if you want to avoid
trouble with pdf export, at the very least try to avoid transparency and
filters.
