Human perception, or bad use of terminology.

I repeat: if you use Image.getInstance( filename ),
iText will not reduce the quality of the image:
the JPG will have as many pixels in the PDF as
it has outside the PDF.

Bill's questions help you understand the difference
between pixels, resolution, rendering, etc...
Maybe you are using a device that isn't able to
render the JPG as expected.

As Leonard pointed out: JPG is not a good format
for vector data. Are you creating a JPG from an
application based on vector data? In that case,
it would be better to draw the lines and shapes
directly to PDF without using the lossy JPG format.
