How to disable image processing/sharpening when converting BMP/TIFF to lossless PDF quality

Hi,

I'm converting BMP and TIFF images to PDF. My setting are lossless conversion, but the resulting PDF pages/images are different from the original images in terms of sharpness. Some preprocessing/sharpening is done when I convert BMP to PDF. I want that my PDF has the exact same images that I select, and not some preprocessed variants of those. I configured the conversion to be lossless, but preprocessing even so is done.

Please help.

How do I completely disable image proprocessing when I convert BMP/TIFF to PDF?

Thank you!

How have you verified that it has changed? Be sure to view the TIFF/BMP at 100% scale and the PDF at a scale that matches the size exactly, as different apps will downsample differently.

You are right, the problem is - I think - that Adobe at 100% has a different scale than IrfanView (I use IrfanView by default for images). Probably Adobe creates the PDF without touching the BMP image, but the problem is that I can't really check that because 100% Adobe scale differs from other image viewer 100% scales, like IrfanView or Windows ptoto viewer for instance.

So do know how to zoom in Adobe page to match that of the page size in IrfanView for instance?
