So far I haven't had any luck. Well, it looks like I may have figured this out. My PNG images are 74x74 dpi. The conversion stuff is expecting 72x72 (I think). If I convert the images with ImageMagic using: convert -density 74 foo.png foo.epdf The image quality is right. Somebody correct me if this sounds too weird to be happening this way...
