So your PDFs are not generated by some text system, but scanned pages
from books or magazines! This of course explains that the characters
will look ragged: printing is not perfect and scanning is even
farther away from perfection. I presume the corners of the characters
might look better when you use a resolution that is one half, one
quarter, or one eighth etc. of the original scan's resolution. This
way small distortions will get averaged. And this effect allows to
reduce the amount of anti-aliasing Ghostscript uses to create the PNG
picture. And depending on the actual bit depth of the scan you might
adjust the PNG device for which gs converts the PDF file. It's
useless to expand an 8-bit image to 24 bits.
You know that you can't search a text in such a scan? OTOH, an OCR
software could improve the scans ...
