<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">It may be that DPI setting at the moment does not have a totally desired effect. It would feel natural that increasing DPI from the default value 72 into a bigger value like 300 would make the page size of the PDF smaller expressed as
physical units like millimeters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The DPI setting is not supposed to affect the image itself so the PDF file size will be the same as well as the image quality so no up/downsampling will occur.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">You can read some background from <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5412">
<span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5412</span></a>. In older PDF versions there was an absolute limit that page could not be bigger than 14000 units and the unit size was fixed to 1/72 inch. This limitation
can be overridden in later PDF versions by using a UserUnit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Create some sample PDF files with gdal_translate and you can see how the user unit behaves by opening the PDF file with a text editor and having a look at row 4 in the file.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">The image box sixe comes from (MediaBox size) x (UserUnit size) and remains the same in all three cases because GDAL is adjusting both the MediaBox and UserUnit hand in hand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">It could be that GDAL should not touch to the size of the MediaBox if it does not exceed 14400 in either dimension.<o:p></o:p></p>
