Re: [libreoffice-users] Adding .pdf Images to Document

We did also, but PostScript is slowly dying because of "no 
transparency". LO and OO handles well EPS, but you need a eps with 
"previeuw" to show a bitamp representation off the content. Making a 
native-PDF (using PDF-export) export the bitamp representation and not 
the vector data.
Making PDF with a Postscript application like(PS2PDF) works very well 
and here the vector data are used, not the bitmaps.
Using SVG is the future, Both LO and OO are fast advancing in there use 
of it, the major problem is that the current PDF  export also export a 
bitmap representation and not the vector data, this was not so  in older 
versions, LO promeses to fix this issue in 3.7 = (4.0) no news from OO.
