Just a quick suggestion without my trying it here...
Try exporting to PostScript, view that with GhostView, say. Only then
use some graphics utility to convert to the formats you require.
It's been the case, in the past at least, that even direct export to pdf
can lose some graphics features, but exporting first to .eps and then
converting that to .pdf works.
