Bases: Export to PDF not showing Bases content

Bug reports
1

I have embedded Bases with the ```base syntax. It works great in the Obsidian UI. (BTW love this new feature and ability to inline edit - game changer)

When exporting to PDF no records are displayed in the PDF document.
Thanks

I see same in the Obsidian v1.9.1 Sandbox; Windows 11.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new .base (Untitled.base) with no filters or properties.

  2. Create a new note with the content of:

    \`\`\`base code block ->

```base
views:
  - type: table
    name: Table
    filters:
      and:
        - contains(file.path, "Adventurer")
```

embedded base ->

![[Untitled.base]]

  3. Export to PDF…

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes.

Expected result

The content of Base code blocks and embedded Bases are shown.

Actual result

The Bases are empty.

It appears that as of 1.9.4 this is no longer broken and the export to PDF now includes the bases content
