It might have something to do with compression of the image in the PDF. Bobrovsky Bobrovsky 13k 19 19 gold badges 74 74 silver badges bronze badges.

Bob - I'm sure it's to do with compression, I'm not not sure where. I tried saving the images as PNGs, GIFs, and JPGs with pretty much every combination of compression settings and they always came out as in the top image when seen in the viewer. See here top image is screengrab from Google viewer, bottom is 32 colour GIF.

So it seems Google is doing some heavy colour compression and not dithering at all. But I can't for the life of me work out why some images are okay and some as bad as this.

When I click on the second link I still only see the first 2 images and a blank third page - I'll try resetting a few things.
