It would be great if PdfVectorOutput was also available on Windows (like it is on OSX and Linux). Is there a specific reason why it isn't?

I think, the missing lib GS (GhostScript) on windows is the reason. There is no lib (default) on windows, that we can use.

OSX and Linux have PDF output as part of the available APIs so it was very simple to add the command. On Windows, I have to write a PDF renderer from scratch to support it. I hope to do this sometime, but I cannot say when as it is a larger task.
