No need to do that.
Just create an svg in inkscape, convert it to pdf and include it from Pandoc.

gtheler@tom:~/run/pandoc$ inkscape --export-pdf=text.pdf text.svg
gtheler@tom:~/run/pandoc$ pandoc document.md -o document.pdf

See the example pdf, you can select "text in a figure" as text.

The best way to solve a problem is to avoid it. I do not understand why people kill vector figures by converting them to bitmaps.
