exporting from gimp to pdf while preserving full resolution
#1
Hi,

How can I know that when I export a gimp image to pdf, that the original gimp resolution is preserved in the pdf?  

I created gimp images measuring 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches at 300 x 300 ppi. 

After I export one of those images to pdf and open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat, and set Adobe to display at 300px/inch, the image on screen visually appears MUCH bigger than 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches.  Maybe 3 times larger on the screen than that. That seems to mean the resolution of the pdf is far down from the resolution of the original gimp image, right? Yet Adobe has a little box at the lower left of the screen saying the image is 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches. 

So has the resolution gone down in the pdf?  

Thanks for any assistance.
