Normally you just have to hit `+' to zoom in and `-' to zoom out.  This
will modify the -r parameter (`doc-view-resolution') and reconvert the
images.

Hm, strange.  Could you please try the conversion in a shell?  I suspect
that your GhostScript somehow ignores the -r option.  The command is:

  $ gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dBATCH \
       -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dQUIET -r100 -sOutputFile=test.png \
       my-doc.pdf

Please try that with different -r values, maybe 50 and 150 and see if
the resolutions of the images differ or if gs prints some helpful
messages.

I use GPL Ghostscript 8.63 here which works just fine.

Bye,
