I'm relatively bored today, so I'll talk to the wall.
Ryan,
JPG is a lossy image compression format. That means that it is designed to
reduce the amount of information necessary to describe the image at the same
height and width as another image. That is why your image is smaller when it
is a JPG.
There is no tutorial regarding this because it is independent of iText. You
might consider OCR'ing the image instead of just dumping it into a PDF
document.
