Did she set the DPI in the image's metadata to 300dpi without actually 
adding any more pixels?  If so of course they're tiny!  The size they appear 
in the PDF is set by the DPI in the image's meta data, combined with how 
many actual pixels there are.  Apologies if I'm sating the obvious ;-)

HTH, John Maddock.
