I think the problem is with image dpi: % identify maize_raw.jpg maize_raw.jpg JPEG 400x812 400x812+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 56.2012kb % identify maize.png maize.png PNG 617x617 617x617+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 297.305kb % grep Width maize.pdf << /Width 220 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Height 446 /Subtype /Image << /SMask 13 0 R /Width 220 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /Height 446 The (812 pixels high) image has been embedded in a png of height 617, but in the pdf file it has height 446. 446/617 is about .72, so the problem must be that the pdf backend forces the dpi to 72, while the png file is being saved with dpi=100. There is a TODO comment in the pdf backend about figure resolution that I added in February but never got around to fixing. I'll take a closer look at this later. -- Jouni K.
