I haven't used PDFWriter in a while, but my experience on both
Mac and Windows, was that it do a very poor job of handlng graphics.
I would not use it in any case that included anything other than text.

But, even though I =thought= I tested this again with version 3.0,
I can't swear that I did, so if someone knows to th contrary, they're
probably right.
