OOo supports EPS files, but not importing PDF as an image (maybe there
is an extension?) The problem actually arises out of the way the OOo
PDF exporter works. If you insert an eps image into OOo, it does not
display (unless the image has a preview). When you print, the eps
image does print correctly, but when you export to PDF then the
preview of the image is exported. So if there is no preview you get a
red outline block with the filename, and if there is you get the low
quality preview.

Using pdfcreator as a printer works well, but it doesn't output the
links in the document correctly (arg), and so
round-and-round-and-round we go.

I'll give John's Makefile method a go and see how that goes.
