PDF export converts vector graphics, barcodes and stuff to JPEG

Hi there.

Fast Report can print reports flawlessly.

I have a vector graphic (TMetafile) and a barcode object in my report. They get printed fine. But when I export to PDF, Fast Reports saves them as heavily compressed JPEG graphics. The chart loses quality and I fear trouble with trying to read back a barcode that came from a pdf. How can I circumvent those problems?
Also, half a megabyte for just one page is a bit huge.

Many thanks in advance!

By the way, setting Quality of the TfrxPDFExport component to 0, 10, 50 or 100 has absolutely no effect.

This is how I export

myReport.PrepareReport();
frxPDFExport1.FileName := 'x:\myFile.pdf';
myReport.Export(frxPDFExport1);

Is there anything wrong with that?

All barcode and qrcode object converted as jpeg image - see frxPDFFile.pas source code.
Export into PDF file can't use JBIG2 format - it's not supported by developers
