Comment(by Thaddeus):

 Here is some test data:

 1-6-test.zip
 the QGS test file has two layers, an raster image showing a well defined
 edge --nice for hand tracing-- and a line-SHP layer with the trace of the
 raster layer: 8 small files in total.


 nada01_1-6_100dpi_vector_win2k.pdf
 This is the export-to-PDF result under Win2k.


 "StreamsFrom__ nada01_1-6_100dpi_vector_win2k.zip"
 This is the export-to-PDF result under Win2k with all streams unzipped
 using PDFtk and then dumping the streams using a script I wrote. 6 streams
 are readily identified as JPG objects, one has the funny PS code to frame-
 mask the images behind. 1 image is the off-place SHP trace (purple color)
 as a raster, which should really be vector, but blanking this object image
 reveals another raster (object at offset 16765?) copy of the same trace in
 green color now?. No vector data was found ??
