Hi Tom! :-)

 TW> pdf appears to use Vector Grapgics and they magnified quite a bit 
 TW> before loosing any resolution at all.
PDF can use both vector graphics and bitmaps. The vector stuff should scale
to any magnification, the bitmap stuff obviously behaves like a bitmap, so
scaling those too much doesn't look good (unless the document itself used
the bitmap scaled down, in which case you'll even have to magnify it to see
all details).

Ciao
