I have been trying to come up with workarounds. 

This morning I worked on ghostscript command lines for conversion of an OODraw
.pdf file to a bitmap format at specified resolutions. The following ghostscript
command line example will do the conversion of a .pdf file to a .png file with
16 million colors at 600 dpi. The nice thing is you don't have to specify the
page size output since the .pdf file already has this information, you just set
the horizontal and vertical resolution (DPI, or ppi).

Code:
 gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=test1.png -r600x600 test2.pdf 

After that however I found an even simpler way -- direct importation into Gimp.
I was unaware Gimp could directly import .pdf files. This dimmediately solves
the problem of needing to transfer high resolution drawings from Draw to a
bitmap editor. Files can also be saved in any bitmap format from Gimp.
Apparently a lot of other people are unaware that this is possible, since so
many have tried workarounds.

While this may make the ghostscript code above irrelevant, perhaps it may be
useful for someone needing to do batch exports from Draw (or other) .pdfs.

Hope this helps others. I would still naturally hope OODraw will upgrade it's
bitmap exports, but this does now make it less pressing an issue, since there is
a ready way to get hi-res drawings out.
