Take a look at this :
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/notable2.5.php#jump_16
Also set the height and width for the image to blank and then set the
advanced property for dpi. You may also want to look at the fit to
container to put your image in a grid cell that is sized smaller than
your image.

BTW if you are using charts and you want the pdf smaller make sure to
set the chart type to something like png. SVG produces better image
quality on charts but larger pdfs.

Thomas,
I was able to get the image to scale down but the pdf size had very
little difference. Take a look at the attached example. Change the dpi
to something like 300 and then back to 96.

improve the behavior?
