I found a way to export non-image PDFs: Can you please add it as a feature?

Here's the list of steps: Export as SVG > Open in Safari > Cmd P > Open in Preview > Save as PDF/a (to include fonts) works to create a PDF. I couldn't find these steps elsewhere. I'm posting it here because this most likely means you should be able to add non-image PDF export convenience shortcut by using system APIs and Quartz PDFcontext, or copying code from WebKit. (I hope that even if you don't add it some people will find these steps helpful)

Hi! This can be shortened by using directly the File -> export to pdf command in Safari, but unfortunately, this workaround has a huge limitation : a white background is added.
The support of vector-based PDFs would be a really great addition to Pixelmator.

I've been demoing Pixelmator Pro and really love it, but this is the one feature I need for the project I'm working on. (It would be even better if I could create multi-page pdfs so I wouldn't have to manage multiple documents and combine the pages in a post-processing step.)
For now, I won't be able to use Pixelmator Pro but will keep an eye out. I really hope you add support for vector pdfs with control over which parts of the document have to get rasterized.

Kimoo,
afetr you export to SVG, you may want to use a third-party utility to convert SVG to PDF. One thing I found (but have not tried myself):
