Image quality in pdf files

Hi. I add images to pdf files all the time and I have a question about them. The image quality seems to be bad in certain situations. For example I added a 501x483 72dpi gif image to a 1190x1684 pdf file. It looks great at 75% zoom but really jagged at 100% zoom. Why is it like this? Shouldn't it be same as the original image file at 100% zoom? I'd really appreciate any guidance about making images look better in pdf files.
