It’s important to remember that InDesign does not, by default, embed images. It just links to them on disk. So the Links panel should be clear of alerts before you make PDFs, or else it will just use the low-resolution previews.

If you take a low-resolution preview and scale it down, it may appear high-res even if it’s not linked to the original.

98% of the time, when you make a PDF and it has too-low resolution for some of the images, it’s a linking problem.
