I always thought that a pdf file is based on vectors with embedded images. Hence there is no dpi as such. The problem is with the images that have been imported and the dpi/compression of each individual image.

I could be completely wrong though.

Well, it may be possible if you had the PDF maker program from Adobe but I haven't used it in years so I can't be sure tbh.
