PDF is a document format, not an image format, but it happens to handle single images (vector or bitmap) reasonably well. Conversion of PDF to bitmaps is trivial, extraction to useable vector graphics is just a bit more difficult. ghostscirpt, imageMagick and pstoedit are all functional on Apple OS X platform. Internally LibreOffice makes use of each of these when available as a system resource. But they work great as stand alone utilities to covert your images. > Using Keynote, I can insert PDFs into slides, and I can also paste > rectangular selections from Preview. > great guess you are set ;-) > 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). we don't care... > > In Impress, there's no option to insert an image from file that's in PDF > format at all.

No, you are *choosing* to save to PDF format, programs you list support other formats. LibreOffice supports everything using filters. > It's bad enough I can't just paste in vector images. Sure you can! SVG, WMF, EMF even EPS... but as each is processed by filters, the fidelity of each type can vary depending on how it is implemented. Sorry, don't see a bug here.
