I saw a comment somewhere about 72 dpi being hard coded for gimp pdf exports, but then I saw a reply from someone else who said he'd been exporting from Gimp to pdf quite a lot and that the export resolution is not hard coded to 72 dpi but follows what one has if one looks at Image > Print Size on Gimp. The replier thought the 72 limit the other individual experienced could have been due to a specific plug in for Mac OS or something. 

Anyway -- as to your suggestion of first exporting to JPG or PNG and then finding another software to convert the PNG to pdf, did you have some software in particular in mind?

Not a specialist of PDF here, thus sorry, I don't know a dedicated PDF software, but if I have to do PDF more "seriously" than I actually do (I use this format for quick export/email/and so, nothing "important") I think I would use LibreOffice Draw or LibreOffice Writer, their export to PDF seems to have very serious options.
