--- Comment #2 from Timothy Miller <[email protected]> ---
I have various images in PDF format produced by things like gnuplot and
OmniGraffle.  Also on occasion, I'll make a rectangular selection in Preview
and copy/paste.  I have a bias towards using PDFs because I use pdflatex to
produce a lot of documents, and it likes that format for images.  I'll attach
an example.

Using Keynote, I can insert PDFs into slides, and I can also paste rectangular
selections from Preview.

Using PowerPoint, I can "insert picture from file" into a slide, selecting a
PDF, although the rectangular selection from Preview doesn't work (it pastes a
bitmap instead).

In Impress, there's no option to insert an image from file that's in PDF format
at all.  Also, pasting a rectangular selection from Preview inserts an even
grainer bitmap.  The fact that PowerPoint doesn't support this properly isn't
really a good reason to underperform, however.

I don't see why I should have to go jump through hoops just to insert an image
that happens to be in PDF format.  It's bad enough I can't just paste in vector
images.
