I have noticed this also happening on the latest version of Finereader 12 (12.0.101.382). I believe this bug began occurring after the latest patch, because it was DEFINITELY working properly when I first purchased 12 (and I had zero problems with this in Finereader 11).
I will have to gather a little bit more intel/testing, and I will submit a bug report to ABBYY.
I only noticed this in the EPUB export (because that is what I use), although it may be effecting some of the other formats.

Hmmm, well to get around this bug, I do what Toxaris said.
I export the EPUB version (this has that 150dpi bug), and then I export an HTML version (images set to "source quality"). I then plop in the HTML images into the EPUB using 7-zip (or any zipping program), and then edit the EPUB using Sigil to remove the height="###" and width="###" from the <img> tags.

Bleh. The HTML export from Finereader carries over a ton of font cruft that isn't needed in an ebook. And mixing Calibre conversion on top of that will absolutely mangle everything.
I would recommend either of these workflows:
- Finereader -> EPUB -> Edit everything in Sigil or Calibre's Editor.
- This is the method I prefer.
- Although there are still a few bugs with Finereader EPUB output. The one that bugs me the most I call "phantom footnotes". Some footnote text poofs into thin air, so you have to pay close attention and double-check the footnotes.
- I believe this bug occurs because Finereader tries to shift/move footnotes to the "end of chapter" and auto-number + link back/forth for you.
- Finereader + export as Word (Formatted text) + Clean in Microsoft Word (using Toxaris's EPUB Tools) or LibreOffice (using Writer2EPUB or similar plugins) + export to EPUB and clean using Sigil or Calibre's Editor.
- This is the method that Toxaris prefers.
- This method DOES export all of the text though, and I don't see disappearing footnotes.
The pros/cons of each method have been written about elsewhere though, I won't write them out again here.
