Ah, the link is only in the ODT file. The image is always embedded within
the PDF.

I have been looking only at Lossless compression and no reduction of image
resolution. Also, there is absolutely no point ever in taking a PNG image
and making it larger; that should never be done regardless.

That's exactly what we've found. I think that images should never be
modified when choosing lossless with no change in resolution.

That doesn't give the release notes for 4.4.0.0. I managed to find the 4.4
release notes:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4
But nowhere there does it mention image compression or resolution.

I'd be happy to write in to let the developers know. I wouldn't know where
to do this, though.
