FWIW, when I print to PDF using Microsoft's built-in PDF printer in Windows 10, the output is of far higher quality than your save_as pdf. Of course, you don't get any bookmarks or links when you do that...

That colour image is indeed a PNG and in my original file compression is turned off. For convenience and size I decided to turn it on for the file posted here.
No bookmarks etc is not an issue at the moment as it first needs to be printed. Publishing online with a pdf that has bookmarks is of later concern.
The windows 10 pdf printer does sound attractive, but I'm using windows 7 and office 2010. I can install windows 10 in a virtual box so I can create a pdf there, but I need to use office 2010 because office 2016 adds a ; to my chemical formulas created with an equation (for example Co2(CO)8 where the 2 must be in subscript and then a 0 must be directly above the 2). Can you install office 2010 in windows 10?
