The original is an embedded raster image, no vectors involved.
Can I just point out that Gimp default value for opening a PDF is 100 ppi.
Which might/might not be the same as the original. Up to the user to adjust.
These values using linux pdfimages
width height color enc ppi
---------------------------------------------
Adobe: 2545 1491 rgb jpeg 300x301
Gimp: 848 497 gray image(png) 101x100
Hardly surprising the difference in quality.
Suggestion: Sometimes difficult to determine the original size of a raster
image in a PDF.
LibreOffice Draw usually plucks an image out in original size/format.
If the PDF contains a vector image, then use Inkscape.
