	Hi Alessandro, a PDF-File describes positions and sizes in points. A point is inch/72. On the other hand for images is pixel the unit for measurement. But there ist a bridge between points and pixels, called dpi = dots per inch. Take dots as another word for pixel. Now it depends from the things, you want to do with the pdf. For print typically a dpi of 300 or more is used to get usable prints. On screen the value may be more less. Cheers, Werner
