How can I export an .xoj file to pdf so that the whole file is exported, not just my edits?

I opened a pdf file in xournal and edited it using a stylus. After saving as a xournal file,with .xoj extension, I selected export as .pdf from the file menu.



When I went to open the new file in pdf viewer and in xournal, all that was visible were the editing marks I had made, and none of the original document.



I'm using ubuntu 16.04.

          Instead of opening the .pdf file directly, I selected "annotate pdf" from the file menu. That opened a dialogue box that allowed me to choose the file to edit. Once done, exporting as .pdf resulted in the complete file - original and edit - to be viewed.
