An important thing to note: when you've opened the PDF in GIMP, the
vector and text information is lost - you've "ripped" it into an
image, and at that point you will have to treat it as an image (as
opposed to a PDF).   The size and res dialog you see when opening a
PDF determines what quality the resulting image will be.  You can
almost think of it as "printing to an image" as opposed to printing to
a physical printer.

Hope that makes sense.
