Hmmm, I start having doubts on all this. Long time ago I realized that
to support high resolution, I would have to go through eps. Never
checked back on how that is now supported, because I thought it was in
the pdf specification.
You are telling me that if you zoom in one of your BIRT created pdfs
you do not see grained curves and so on?
