FYI for those who never laid out a print book with graphics...
Expressed in quantitative terms, screen-capture resolutions are typically only 72 or 96 dpi--quite low resolution for print docs. At bare-minimum resolutions, a high-quality (Adobe Acrobat print-file term...) PDF to be sent to a commercial print shop would have 300 dpi for raster graphics (e.g., photos) and 1200 dpi for line art. Therefore, a typical screenshot would often appear fuzzy and have other faults in a printed book.
Vector graphics (e.g. via graphical PDFs or other file formats) should be used whenever available because they can be scaled up or down in size while not presenting low-resolution problems.

Hi :) Thanks Jean, i hadn't realised that would be the issue. The images all look fine to me in the Odf books :) Danishka, the books are mostly available (at least in English(US)) at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation in Odf as well as Pdf in case that helps.

Using a different compression when creating a PDF will not help, or not very much. The figures would need to be recreated in a higher resolution. --Jean
