Sorry, ParaView doesn't have true vector graphics output. Please add<br>
your vote to the existing user voice request for it.<br>

The pdf writer in ParaView uses Qt to write a raster image. VTK's<br>
vtkGL2PSExporter is not exercised by ParaView at all and it is likely<br>
not to support many of our rendering techniques if it was added as an<br>
new exporter option. 2D views are more likely to be supported, but we<br>
haven't yet had the time to do so.<br>
