Hi Sebastien, 	(cc'ing one-users)

 The image panels in the main figure (first page of the PDF) are placed into the PDF without
any change in resolution. So the pixels are exactly the same as in the original image.
If you rotate the panel there's pixel interpolation to handle the rotation, but still no change in resolution.

The second page of the PDF contains thumbnails which will always be 96 pixels along their longest side.

For any selected panel, the first "Info" tab on the right will tell you the DPI of that panel if the 
PDF is printed at the current paper size. You can see and edit paper size under File > Paper Setup…
The DPI will be lower if a panel is large or zoomed in a lot.
I am planning to add the ability to increase DPI (with the option to interpolate) because users and journals
often want higher DPI for low resolution images.

 Hope that helps,

   Will.
