Hey Wolfgang. Why does a vector image need to be rasterized in a PDF, I
guess is what I'm still confused with? It seems like DPI is a concept
applicable only to rasterized graphics. Or is it that the PDF backend is
normally fine with vector graphics, it's just that this one in
particular contains a Gaussian blur that it has to rasterize because it
cannot dynamically reproduce?
