Description:
When I insert some PDF maps (vector based) in a Writer document (Insert > Image...) and export the document to PDF, the linked PDF maps are rasterized. Is this an error? I would like to preserve the vector graphics nature of linked graphics when exporting to PDF.

With linked SVG maps, the vector graphics nature is preserved during PDF export. However, SVG format is not an option in print and LibreOffice unfortunately does not support EPS. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert > Image... and choose a PDF to include in document
2. Export Writer-document to PDF


Actual Results:
Linked PDF in document will be rasterized

Expected Results:
Vector graphics nature of linked PDF in document should be preserved


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Example: Paste this example map into a new Writer document and export the document as a PDF. The vector-based nature of the example map will be lost
