I'm converting PDFs to image format, and would expect some kind of control over the output quality - I'm writing a JPG after all. Yep, and you *should* have the option to set a compression percentage for that, so I would raise that bit as a bug. I'm guessing the resolution setting is

Hi all, I am now successfully converting PDF files to JPG. I'm wondering what exactly the resolution attribute does though. I tried both 'high' and 'low' and the resulting file is exactly the same file size in in both cases - I would have expected the low res file to be smaller. Am I
