Resolution of PDF in player object

[Scott Rossi]

This probably doesn¹t help you, but in years gone by, my experience when
using a player to view a PDF resulted in the content being displayed as a
bitmap image, regardless of the type of content.  So enlarging beyond 100%
would often appear pixelated.  I never encountered a player-viewed PDF
displayed as anything BUT a bitmap.  But this was all QuickTime stuff, so
things may have changed more recently.
