--- Comment #1 from Armin Le Grand <armin.le.gr...@me.com> ---
This is because the current PDF export is more or less a recorded paint/print
to a Metafile. Metafiles only know Bitmap/BitmapEx internally which represent
the bitmap data, but have no information or access to the original files or
their formats. The rough future direction (long term) would be to change all
apps to primitive rendering and then write a primitive renderer for pdf export.

Historically it would have also helped if the pdf expoert would be an exporter
working on the UNO API and the app models, but it's not.

Simpler in-between solutions would be possible, but would mean to add extra
data to the existing stuff in a evtl. unclean way.
