Hi, thank you for the quick answer. We are already using Batik so it seems this is an easy thing after all.
I also managed to get some decent results by generating PNG images 10 times larger than that I would display on the PDF (PDImage scales). It displayed very ok even with huge zoom levels. And didn't even grow the PDF file size much. But SVG would be better still.
