I assume you mean exporting a layout from the composer to PDF? In that case QGIS uses the Qt's built-in print-to-PDF support, and as the sometimes/former maintainer of print support in Qt5 I know that none of those options (except resolution) are supported in Qt so QGIS is unable to provide them. All those features would be very welcome contributions to Qt 5 though, it's just we lack someone with the PDF standard knowledge and time to do so. If anyone here has those skills I'd be happy to help guide them through the process (or be paid to find the time myself!). Rather than raise tickets on QGIS, you'll need to check if Qt already has tickets open (I think most do, see bugreports.qt.io) and if not raise them yourself, then perhaps open a single QGIS ticket pointing to the upstream issues so they can be tracked?
