Bug Description

Other bugs (242484, 168434) have hinted at this problem but have not addressed it entirely. It would be beneficial to have a resolution limit on PDF outputs that contain raster images linked from the original SVG. It appears that this is possible with PS via Cairo, but not PDF. The utility is that screen-ready version (raster images at <= 90dpi) that is easy to distribute electronically can be saved alongside a print-ready version (raster images at 300dpi) that might be much larger in size.

0.47 has a new PDF exporting option called "Resolution for rasterization (dpi)" that will probably fit your needs.
Please comment if it's not the case.

I'm afraid the bug (missing feature) is still there:
the rasterization process is not applied to images unless some filtering is applied.

A workaround is to apply an "Identity filter" for example an identity color matrix,
setting Rasterized filter effects to true, of course.

I changed the status to Confirmed instead of Fixed because as Ponchietto mentioned in #3 - the raster image downsampling is only available if a filter has been applied to an image, not for every raster image.

I'd be very happy if you fix this bug. Just exported a small half-postcard sized PDF with an image and received a 53 MB PDF :D
