Why is NeoOffice/J's PDF Export Feature lower-quality than OS X's Built-in PDF Export (in the Print dialog box)

The Export As PDF button always creates a PDF file with 72 DPI resolution whereas the PDF created using the native print dialog is 300 DPI.

While the difference in file size may be trivial for most text documents, the difference is huge when there are images in the PDF file. As a result, the current behavior won't change as the Export As PDF button is designed to create low-resolution PDF files that are small enough to be mailed whereas the files created using the native print dialog are designed to print at high-quality.

If you want a higher-quality PDF that may get pretty big, use the function provided by OS X's print dialog box. If you want a smaller file suitable for email, use NeoOffice/J's function.
