Created attachment 90312 [details] pdf file with blurry screenshots Problem description: I create a document containing screenshots and then export it to PDF. Although the images appear crisp on the screen, they are blurry in the PDF. My screen is 96 DPI. I use the default screenshot tool (gnome-screenshot), which saves images at 72 DPI. I am running LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 (from the LibreOffice ppa) on Ubuntu 12.04. I was experiencing the same issue on the LibreOffice version packaged with Ubuntu 12.04. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new document 2a. Take a screenshot of a part of the screen, copy to clipboard and paste in the document. OR 2b. Take a screenshot of a part of the screen, save image to a file, open image with GIMP to scale to 96 DPI (from 72 DPI), insert picture in document OR 2c. Take a screenshot of a part of the screen, save image to a file, insert picture in document and scale to 75% 3. Images are crisp on the screen. Export to PDF. 4. Images are blurry in the PDF. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.3.2 release

Hi Boukeas, Could you please upload an ODT test file that, when exported, has blurry images in the PDF? That would make it easier for us to compare across machines the quality of the images in the input and output files. (Please change status from 'NEEDINFO' back to 'UNCONFIRMED' when you've uploaded the test file)
Created attachment 91129 [details] .odt file with screenshots Τhis .odt file contains two screenshots. One is 100% at 96dpi (which appears enlarged) and the other one at 75% (which appears alright in size). None of the images is crisp in the corresponding pdf export.

CONFIRMED on Ubuntu 12.04.3 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.1 (In reply to comment #2) > Τhis .odt file contains two screenshots. One is 100% at 96dpi (which appears > enlarged) and the other one at 75% (which appears alright in size). None of > the images is crisp in the corresponding pdf export. I tried both Lossless and JPEG options in the PDF export dialog, and in all test cases, the embedded screenshots in the output PDF were blurrier than the screenshots as presented in the ODT. Perhaps even with "lossless" embedding, the images are still reprocessed/transcoded? Bug status: NEW

@beluga: Why should this be a _minor_ issue? @boukeas: Was it OK in earlier versions, that you know?

I would definitely answer this with a YES. (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #7) > @boukeas: > Was it OK in earlier versions, that you know? This is not a regression, as far as I can remember I would say that this bug has been present.
