Output designed for plotters like the old HP 7475a is also vector-based. You could try installing the software for such a printer, telling windows the printer is connected to "FILE:", then printing CdC output to that printer. Output will be directed to a file; give the file an ".HGL" or ".HPGL" extension. Old versions of MS Office products would read these as graphics files, but new ones don't seem to
In XP, the printer you want to choose is the "Hewlett-Packard HP-GL/2 Plotter" To view the hpgl (or hgl) files, you may want to check out http://tinyurl.com/7pd26, which refers to a CERN HP-GL Viewer at http://tinyurl.com/8whxs and A shareware HPGL viewer at http://www.swplot.com/splot.htm Also see, for example, http://www.newfreeware.com/graphics/1030/ If your publisher wants vector-based graphics files, they probably have software they recommend, but the above should enable you to view what you've produced.

The only true vector graphic output is using the Windows metafile option of V2.76. You can probably import this metafile to a graphic art software to produce a vector Postscript the editor like.
