Hi,

You could use profiling and include one image reference for HTML and one for PDF output.
Or make some modifications in the XSLT code for HTML and PDF outputs to output the image reference with different sizes.
As a potential alternative, the FOP configuration file:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/fop/conf/fop.xconf

has two properties called:

Code: Select all

  <!-- Source resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for determining the size of pixels in SVG and bitmap images, default: 72dpi -->
<source-resolution>120</source-resolution>
<!-- Target resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for specifying the target resolution for generated bitmaps, default: 72dpi -->
<target-resolution>120</target-resolution>
If you save your images without any DPI setting saved in them increasing the target values should render smaller images in the PDF output. More about Apache FOP and image DPI here:

There also was a previous discussion about this on the DITA Users List a while ago:
