Set an explicite size or a resolution. This is explained in 
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/latex.html#size-of-a-pixel

With pdftex, the "resolution" is a configuration setting.

Default:
    72 DPI, i.e. 1 px = 1/72 in.
Example:

    Set a resolution of 96 DPI with the LaTeX code:

    \pdfpxdimen=1in % 1 DPI
    \divide\pdfpxdimen by 96 % 96 DPI


You can put the code in a "raw latex" directive, the "user preamble", or
a custom stylesheet.
