You seem to have a problem with the concept of "images".  There are two
types:
- Raster (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics>)
- Vector (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics>)

An Image XObject is a Raster image, while a Form XObject is a vector
image.  

So you need to determine how you wish to deal with the differences in your
product.
